Since founding TSMC in 1987, Zhang Zhongmou has led TSMC for 31 years, and he is also called the "Godfather of semiconductor ". In the past 30 years, TSMC has jumped from an unknown and unpopular company to a global semiconductor industry leader. Its total market value once set a record for the highest market value in TW Securities' history, and it has surpassed the semiconductor giant Intel to become the world's highest market value semiconductor company. In the TW "Tianxia" magazine's benchmark enterprise award selection, TSMC has been the leader for 11 consecutive years. CNN commented that Zhang Zhongmou is a symbol of the rise of TW economy and the most important reason why TW economy has not gone bankrupt so far.
Zhang Zhongmou was born in 1931 and is from Ningbo, Zhejiang. In the great era, he inevitably lived through his displaced childhood. After the Japanese army launched the war of aggression against China, Zhang Zhongmou and his family moved to Nanjing, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Shanghai and Hong Kong to avoid the war. Most of Zhang Zhongmou's childhood was spent in Hong Kong. However, the war continued to move south, and the family went to Chongqing after experiencing difficulties and obstacles. The eleven-year-old Zhang Zhongmou ended his "happy childhood". In 1941, Zhang Zhongmou entered Chongqing Nankai Middle School .
For Zhang Zhongmou, a major in mechanical engineering, the semiconductor industry is completely unfamiliar. In order to adapt to this new industry, he had to go to work during the day, study at night, and speed up his study day and night. After the semiconductor industry was getting better, 27-year-old Zhang Zhongmou decided to leave Sifania and go to the best semiconductor company at that time, Texas Instruments . "There are marketing problems in Sifania, and Texas Instruments was the best semiconductor company at that time. After making this decision, many people thought I was crazy. After all, Sifania is located in Boston, northeastern United States, and is recognized as the highest cultural district, while Texas is in the countryside." At Deyi, Zhang Zhongmou truly felt the innovative power of American technology companies: "'Tirment' is simply an inaudible adjective. Overtime is an unwritten rule, and it is all voluntary, and there is no overtime pay. 'Failure' is never accepted; 'Failure' can be understood, or even sympathized. But those who suffer from setbacks must cheer up and start over. If there is setback again, start over again until success. Everyone bet together, lose together, win together, and fight forward together." At the age of 41, Zhang Zhongmou reached a new peak. He became Deyi's vice president of more than 30,000 employees and global semiconductor business, and the third largest figure in this Fortune 500 company, as well as the Chinese with the highest position in a large American company, with assets of over 10 billion yuan.
Zhang Zhongmou operated TSMC at the world's top technology level from the beginning. Back then, when Intel certified, it raised more than 200 tricky questions in one go. TSMC suffered difficulties in solving problems 24 hours a day, so it was done with the order. In 2016, TSMC's R&D expenses exceeded US$2.2 billion. Such a large investment is just for manufacturing technology. (I'm the best in business)
