TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) is located in the Hsin-Chu Science-Based Industrial Park in what is referred to as Taiwan's "Silicon Valley." The company is listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the trading symbol of TSM.

It is not by chance that TSMC is the world's largest and most successful dedicated independent semiconductor foundry . It is by plan and by charter. As the first "pure play" foundry company, we have experienced strong growth by being a true partner with our customers and by not competing against them by designing and manufacturing our own brand of IC products.

Companies from around the world have trusted TSMC with their integrated circuit manufacturing needs since we were founded in 1987 and we continue to work hard at earning that trust every day.

The evolution of advanced IC technology over the past decade has been so rapid that it has changed the way that all companies do business. Demands for faster design cycles have increased. Demands for faster time-to-market have increased. Demands for higher speeds and product quality have increased as well. These are some of the many reasons companies turn to TSMC as their manufacturing partner.

We understand the competitive nature of our customer's business and we are sensitive to what helps make them stronger. We firmly believe and practice the principal that our customers' successes come first. Simply stated, their success is our success.

We have crystallized our focus on those business practices that mean the most to our customers. Process technology, manufacturing excellence, delivery, and customer service.
