"TSMC strives for innovation through collaboration to provide competitive technology and value to its customers. The expansion of the partnership … underscores TSMC's commitment to increasing R&D for the future," said Jack Sun, pictured, vice president of R&D at TSMC.
By basing its European R&D at IMEC, TSMC will benefit from IMEC's clean room infrastructure – which is currently being expanded to house advanced manufacturing tools. Meanwhile, IMEC and its members will benefit from TSMC's technology roadmap and platform expertise, customers, suppliers, and ecosystem partners.
