Meet the Godfather of the Chip Industry : Morris Chang.
Born in China in 1931, Morris Chang grew up moving between war-torn cities before leaving for the U.S. to study engineering.
He spent 30 years at Texas Instruments, but despite his talent, he was never made CEO in his life.
At 56 years old, when most people think about retiring, Taiwan invited him to build an entire semiconductor industry from scratch.
He founded TSMC, a company with a unique model: it doesn’t create its own products, it manufactures chips for everyone else.
Apple, NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm, and nearly every major tech giant depend on TSMC’s factories.
Today, over 90% of the world’s most advanced chips are made by TSMC.
Your iPhone, your electric car, AI servers, military systems, and global data centers all rely on his vision.
Now in his 90s, Morris Chang still advises on TSMC’s biggest strategic decisions.
The modern tech world stands on the shoulders of one man.. Morris Chang, the father of advanced semiconductors.
