TSMC

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) was founded in 1987 by Morris Chang as world's first dedicated semiconductor foundry, headquartered in Hsinchu Science Park in Hsinchu, Taiwan. TSMC commands 62% market share in semiconductor fabrication in 2024 and has made significant moves in photonic chip manufacturing assembling team of about 200 researchers focused on ultra-high-speed silicon photonic chips collaborating with Broadcom and Nvidia. In April 2024 TSMC announced production start of silicon photonic chips. TSMC is involved in quantum computing research and fabrication with NTU-TSMC Research Center's major research interests including quantum computing using Si qubit. Quantum random number generator (QRNG) chip designs have been submitted for fabrication to TSMC. Research focuses include quantum computing from fundamental qubit devices to integration of multiple qubits, qubit test, and noise analysis. TSMC serves quantum computing manufacturers, photonic quantum computing companies, and quantum research institutions requiring advanced semiconductor fabrication for quantum processors and photonic quantum chips.
