2021 ISSCC - Plenary Session with Dr. Mark Liu, TSMC Chairman

TSMC recently delivered a plenary session at ISSCC 2021. by Dr. Mark Liu, TSMC Chairman. He gave a vision and path of how semiconductor technologies will continue to innovate over the coming years and decades. Below you can watch the Dr. Liu’s plenary session.

Abstract: The foundry business model, pioneered by TSMC more than three decades ago, brought a sea change to technology innovation and how integrated circuits (ICs) and systems are designed and manufactured. Access to semiconductor technology is no longer limited to large corporations that invest billions of dollars to build a fabrication plant. The foundry model has democratized IC innovation, making it available to all visionaries and innovators.

Today, an open innovation platform that connects innovators with semiconductor-technology providers is a vital link in the global supply chain. Our industry has already begun to look beyond just engineering individual chips manufactured on wafers, and have moved to integrate individual chips into systems. System performance and energy efficiency will continue to advance at historical rates, driven by innovations from many aspects, including materials, device and integration technology, circuit design, architecture, and systems. User applications drives design choices, and design choices are enabled by technology advancements. Advances in an open innovation ecosystem will further lower the entry barriers and unleash the future of innovation.
