一部來自產業內部的真實紀錄，透過超過三十年的訪談，講述台積電的崛起。

數位時代的矽基石

「這本書為這段歷程立下重要里程碑，不僅是真實的紀錄，也是一段動人的成功故事。」
——蔣尚義，台積電前共同營運長

「作者在過去三十年間見證了半導體產業許多重要事件……對任何關注此產業的人而言，都是不可或缺的一本書。」
——施振榮，宏碁集團創辦人暨榮譽董事長

在人工智慧與科技創新定義世界的時代，有一家公司站在全球供應鏈、地緣政治與尖端工程的交會點——台積電（TSMC）。

台灣積體電路製造公司已成為全球不可或缺的先進晶片製造商——這些看不見卻至關重要的元件，驅動著智慧型手機、筆電、資料中心與自動駕駛車等現代科技世界的一切。

一家位於人口僅 2300 萬的島國公司，如何成為全球最具價值的半導體企業，並生產全球約 90% 的最先進晶片？是什麼樣的管理哲學、策略決策與企業文化，使台積電能超越曾經稱霸業界的 Intel？更重要的是，在美中對抗日益加劇的動盪局勢中，這家台灣企業如何在地緣政治風暴中持續創新與成長？

**《Chip Champion》**帶領讀者深入台積電崛起為全球半導體霸主的精彩故事。透過超過三十年的訪談資料，包含產業人士、公司員工與半導體專家，提供前所未見的觀點，揭示一家台灣製造企業如何成為全球最關鍵的公司之一——其產品如今幾乎影響現代生活的每一個面向。

當世界各國競相確保晶片供應鏈並建立本土製造能力之際，理解台積電的成功，不僅對企業領袖與科技愛好者至關重要，也對任何想理解塑造數位未來的複雜力量的人來說，都不可或缺。

The Silicon Backbone of the Digital Age

“This book marks a significant milestone in the journey, offering both an authentic record and a moving account of a remarkable success story.”
Shang-Yi Chiang, TSMC’s former Co-Chief Operating Officer

“The author has witnessed numerous significant events in the semiconductor industry over the past thirty years … an indispensable read for anyone concerned with the industry.”
Stan Shih, Founder and Honorary Chairman of Acer Group

In a world increasingly defined by AI and technological innovation, one company stands at the critical nexus of global supply chains, geopolitical tensions, and cutting-edge engineering: TSMC.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has emerged as the world’s indispensable manufacturer of advanced semiconductor chips—the unseen yet essential components powering everything from smartphones and laptops to data centers and autonomous vehicles.

How did a company founded in an island nation of 23 million people become the world’s most valuable semiconductor firm and the producer of approximately 90% of its most advanced chips? What management philosophies, strategic decisions, and cultural practices enabled TSMC to outpace the once-dominant Intel? And perhaps most critically, how does this Taiwanese company navigate the increasingly turbulent waters of US–China tensions while sustaining its remarkable trajectory of innovation and growth?

Chip Champion takes readers inside the remarkable story of TSMC's rise to global dominance. Drawing on more than 30 years of extensive interviews with industry insiders, employees, and semiconductor experts, it provides unprecedented insight into how a Taiwanese manufacturing pioneer transformed itself into one of the world's most essential companies—one whose products now touch virtually every aspect of modern life.

As nations around the world scramble to secure semiconductor supply chains and build domestic chip manufacturing capacity, understanding TSMC's triumph is essential not just for business leaders and technology enthusiasts, but for anyone seeking to comprehend the complex forces shaping our digital future.
