About TSMC

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC; 台積電/台积电) is the world’s largest dedicated semiconductor foundry. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan, TSMC manufactures integrated circuits for fabless and IDM customers across technology nodes ranging from mature processes to leading-edge logic. The company also provides advanced packaging and 3D integration services, including technologies such as CoWoS, InFO, and SoIC, to support high-performance computing, AI, mobile, automotive, and IoT applications. TSMC operates major fabrication facilities in Taiwan and has expanding manufacturing and support footprints in the United States, Japan, and other regions.

For the chemical industry, TSMC is a critical downstream customer and development partner for electronic materials and specialty chemicals. Its operations rely on ultra-high-purity process gases, photoresists, developers, etchants, CMP slurries and pads, wet chemicals, silicon wafers, advanced dielectrics, polyimides, underfills, and other packaging materials. The company collaborates closely with materials suppliers to meet stringent performance, reliability, and contamination-control requirements at nanometer-scale geometries and heterogeneous integration. TSMC’s scale and technology cadence influence demand patterns, quality specifications, and sustainability practices across the semiconductor chemicals supply chain, including initiatives in greenhouse-gas abatement, solvent and water recycling, and safer chemical management.
