About Taiwan Semiconductor
Taiwan Semiconductor is the world's largest chip foundry. It manufactures semiconductors designed by other companies, and nearly every leading edge AI accelerator, from NVIDIA and AMD GPUs to Apple silicon and hyperscaler custom chips, is fabricated in its plants.
Its edge is process technology and packaging: the N3 process node for leading edge chips, CoWoS advanced packaging that joins compute dies with high bandwidth memory, 3DFabric for stacking chips, and InFO packaging technology. These capabilities are why nearly all of the most demanding AI chips are fabricated at TSMC.
Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan, TSMC employs about 76,900 people under CEO C.C. Wei, and its shares trade on the NYSE.
Taiwan Semiconductor in the AI buildout
TSMC sits at the manufacturing heart of the buildout, spanning the Chip Equipment & Foundries and Semiconductors layers. Nearly every leading edge AI accelerator is fabricated in its plants, and its CoWoS packaging is the step that turns GPU dies and memory into finished AI processors. AI chip demand is now its primary growth driver, though smartphones and other logic remain a large share of its wafers. Supercycle scores its AI exposure at 78 out of 100.
TSM is tracked in Chip Equipment & Foundries and Semiconductors, rated Core on the AI Exposure leaderboard.
