The TSMC OIP Ecosystem Forum highlighted many accomplishments across TSMC’s vast ecosystem. Specific achievements with TSMC as well as collaborative work across several companies were all on display.
And there was an exhibit area where you could meet the companies behind many of these stories and learn more about them.
This … Read More
For decades, chipmakers improved computing performance largely by putting more capable circuitry on a piece of silicon. That remains important, but AI is exposing its limits. Large models demand enormous amounts of data movement, sustained power and effective cooling. A fast processor cannot deliver its full benefit if memory… Read More
TSMC is introducing an AI Design Kit, or ADK, to help artificial intelligence tools make better use of its semiconductor manufacturing knowledge. The idea is to give AI agents that run chip-design workflows a technology-specific foundation, so they can adjust designs toward performance, power and area targets with less manual… Read More
I spent a significant part of my career in the ASIC business. This segment of semiconductors has always been challenging, difficult and invigorating. There is something special about delivering a working custom chip that enables your customer to bring a world-changing product to market. It has always been a highly competitive… Read More
The little-known decisions and breakthroughs—and the remarkable role of Robert Noyce—that helped shape the modern semiconductor industry
by Sunil Mehta
When people tell the story of how Silicon Valley came into being, they usually begin with a familiar sequence of events.
The transistor was invented at Bell Labs. William Shockley… Read More
As chipmakers put more computing power into a single system, the challenge extends beyond making individual chips faster. They must connect multiple chips, memory stacks, power supplies, and sometimes optical components in a compact package. In the2026 TSMC OIP Forum talk “Addressing Inter-Die Complexity for 3D Multi-Die… Read More
Siemens and TSMC are expanding their collaboration on semiconductor design tools, with a focus on AI assisted workflows, advanced chip packaging and support for newer manufacturing processes. Their announcement centers on an AI agent intended to find and fix design rule violations: errors that can prevent a chip layout from… Read More
The 2026 TSMC Open Innovation Platform (OIP) Ecosystem Forum was held on September 23, 2026, in Santa Clara, CA. This is the event where TSMC showcases the substantial progress made with its massive semiconductor ecosystem. As one would expect, AI was a key topic throughout the day, with some very impressive results reported and… Read More
