C.C. Wei — HoF: TSMC has become the keystone of the modern semiconductor industry and its separation of design and wafer fabrication. Yet its strength also highlighted a potential weakness: Only one giant of an executive had ever run it. There was cause for concern, when Mark Liu & C.C. Wei were appointed co-executives in 2013. Since then, TSMC has become the leader in pushing Moore‘s Law beyond what few thought were possible. They took it to N3 and N2 is on the horizon.
