The rapid rise of artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping computing architectures. As AI models scale toward trillions of parameters, traditional approaches to performance improvement are no longer sufficient. Instead, the industry is entering a new era where system-level innovation, advanced packaging, … Read More
Before assuming his current position, Dr. Hou held several key leadership roles. He served as Vice President of Design and Technology Platform from 2011 to 2018, and later as Vice President of Technology Development starting in August 2018. Earlier in his career, from 1997 to 2007, he established TSMC’s technology design kit
At its 2026 Technology Symposium, TSMC delivered a clear message: the AI era has entered a new phase. The primary constraint is no longer model capability, but the systems required to run those models at scale. Addressing this shift will demand significant advances in semiconductor technology, spanning compute, memory, interconnects,… Read More
