History

The information under the "History" heading is not very helpful as history. Please add the company's history from its inception. I recall it was started as a joint venture between a Taiwan or other Asian company and Dutch company Philips. 166.216.158.21 (talk) 13:10, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is TSMC was a joint venture between Philips, the Taiwan government and other private investors?

Interesting info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philips

"In 1985, Philips was the largest founding investor in TSMC [26] which was established as a joint venture between Philips, the Taiwan government and other private investors."

On the page mentioned above is more details:

"In 1985 Morris Chang was recruited by the Taiwanese government to help develop the emerging semiconductor industry. In 1986 Morris joined the Hsinchu based non profit research institute ITRI as Chairman and President and launched what would be TSMC’s first semiconductor wafer fabrication plant on the ITRI campus. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. was officially formed in 1987 as a joint venture between the Taiwan government (21%), Dutch multinational electronics giant Philips (28%), and other private investors." 212.87.245.26 (talk) 13:19, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Original TSMC Investor Philips Sells off Final Shares
"Philips Electronics, an original investor that helped get Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) started over 20 years ago, sold its remaining shares in the chip maker on Thursday.
Philips sold 383 million TSMC shares in a block trade to long-term investors, the company said in a statement.
“As a result of this transaction, Philips no longer owns a stake in TSMC,” Philips said.
The European company was instrumental in the launch of TSMC, now the world’s largest contract chip maker."

Ownership

"Around 56% of TSMC shares are held by the general public and around 38% are held by institutions ..."

I wonder where the rest is. JB. --92.195.97.181 (talk) 12:01, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
