Leadership History
4 leaders · 1987 to present
TSMC reported $121.423 billion in FY2025 revenue, $54.116 billion in net income attributable to shareholders, and 90,557 full-time employees. C.C. Wei is CEO. The company is the leading pure-play foundry for advanced chips.
TSMC makes money from wafer manufacturing services, advanced-node pricing, specialty processes, packaging, engineering support, and long-term customer capacity commitments. Customers bring chip designs; TSMC supplies process technology, fabs, yield learning, quality control, and capacity. The business is capital intensive, but leadership in 3nm, 5nm, advanced packaging, and future nodes gives TSMC unusual pricing power for a manufacturer.
