China’s dancing, jumping, performing humanoid robots are fun but useless, said TSMC CEO C C Wei (pictured) when accepting a doctorate from Asia University at the weekend. “It’s useless — just for show,” commented Wei pointing out that, to be useful, robots needed brains and 95% of all humanoid robots’ brains are made by TSMC. He added that he hopes ...
We're talking Oracle and OpenAI scrapping a datacentre project, TSMC hiring 8,000 more engineers, and Rapidus getting its first customer. There's also our news roundup from Embedded World 2026 and researchers using 3D imaging to detect atomic-scale defects in ICs...
The leading ten foundries achieved around $169.5 billion in revenue in 2025, a 26.3% YoY increase that set a new industry record, reports TSMC. In Q4 the combined revenue of the world’s top ten foundries were up 2.6% QoQ to nearly $46.3 billion. TSMC saw slightly lower wafer shipments in 4Q25, but 3nm smartphone wafers lifted ASP delivering a 2% ...
Cornell University researchers have used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect atomic-scale defects in ICs. The imaging method was the result of a collaboration with TSMC and ASM and the research was funded by TSMC. Tiny defects have been a long-standing challenge for the semiconductor industry. The game-changer is electron ptychography, a computational imaging method in which an electron microscope pixel ...
TSMC’s February revenue of $10 billion was down 20.8% m-o-m but up 22.2% y-o-y . Revenue for January through February was $22,645 billion, an increase of 29.9 percent compared to the same period in 2025. For Q1, TSMC is expecting revenue of $24.6 billion to to $35.8 billion.

TSMC said at the weekend that it will hire 8,000 more people this year. Engineer recruits with a Masters degree will be paid an average of $70k. The new hires are needed at TSMC’s facilities in Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, Chiayi, Tainan and Kaohsiung. The disciplines being targeted are: electrical engineering, electronics, optoelectronics, physics, materials, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental ...
Former TSMC Europe president María Marced is the newest member of the board of Spanish semiconductor company KD. She tells Caroline Hayes about her pan-European influences and why a single EU is important to the semiconductor industry. Maria has worked in the semiconductor industry since 1984 and has built an impressive CV. She was president TSMC Europe until 2023, having ...
Semidynamics of Barcelona has taped out a 3nm inference chip with TSMC. The chip has a novel memory subsystem designed to overcome bandwidth bottlenecks and mitigate supply constraints tied to high-end memory. By optimising data flow and memory access, Semidynamics enables large-scale AI inference models to run more efficiently—supporting high-concurrency applications while reducing total cost of ownership. Semidynamics will offer ...
The Nikkei is carrying an interesting piece about how TSMC, UMC and ASE are diversifying their supply chains locally. “For a small company, entering the chipmaking materials business is as risky as robbing a bank: you either succeed or you don’t survive,” says Chan Wen-Hsiunh, chairman of Advanced Echem Materials, which survived the process, “failure likely means the collapse of ...
