HSINCHU, Taiwan -- Even the extensive security measures devised by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. for its new chipmaking plant in mainland China may not guarantee that no advanced technology leaks to Beijing, Chief Information Officer Steve Tso acknowledged Wednesday.
TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker by revenue, boasts global tech giants as customers, such as Apple Broadcom, Nvidia and Qualcomm. The Taiwanese manufacturer also serves several mainland companies, including Huawei Technologies' chip unit HiSilicon.
