Inside Taiwan’s Semiconductor Supremacy
Taiwan dominates the global semiconductor manufacturing industry, producing approximately 92% of advanced logic chips (5 nm and smaller), primarily through TSMC. This article examines TSMC's "pure-play foundry" model, its technological leadership in the Angstrom era, and the critical role it plays in the global economy, despite facing challenges like energy demand, talent shortages, and geopolitical tensions. Taiwan's strategic importance, often dubbed the "silicon shield," is discussed alongside TSMC's expansion efforts abroad to mitigate risks.
