In 1988, as the global semiconductor industry was rapidly expanding, Taiwan Mask Corporation (TMC) was founded. While not a household name, TMC established itself as a critical player in the semiconductor supply chain. The company's core business is the manufacturing of photomasks, which are high-precision plates that hold the master patterns for integrated circuits. Essentially, they are the stencils used to print circuit designs onto silicon wafers, a fundamental step in creating the chips that power our world. The company is led by Chairman David Tu and President Lidon Chen. From its base in Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan, TMC has grown by consistently advancing its technology to meet the demanding needs of chipmakers. The company provides photomasks for a wide array of products, including integrated circuits, LCDs, and LEDs. TMC is a publicly-traded company on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TPE: 2338). Rather than a single, dramatic IPO, its journey has been one of steady growth and strategic expansion. The company has continually invested in new technologies and increased its production capacity to serve the world's leading semiconductor foundries. As the demand for more powerful and smaller chips has grown, driven by 5G, AI, and the Internet of Things, TMC's role has become even more crucial, solidifying its position as an essential, though often unseen, architect of the modern digital age.
