TSMC we call them in the industry. They have been around, and important for 20 years that I know of. Biggest semiconductor fab in the world. TSMC doesn't design chips, they accept designs from anybody with money and fabricate them. They specialize in digital parts, 5 volt or 3.3 volt. Should TSMC go out of production for some reason (Main land china invades Taiwan for example) there would be a semiconductor shortage world wide much worse than the shortages we are having now.
Anyhow the Wall St Journal ran a story this week indicating vaguely how important TSMC is to the world economy. First time the Journal has bothered to notice TSMC.
