TSMC founder Morris Chang on the evolution of the semiconductor industry 

Intel and AMD will definitely have their share of the market. TSMC is at max capacity and investing in other semiconductor companies will be an absolute power move, I keep increasing my shares manageably. Different chips are good at different things and Nvidia has been very specialised, which leaves other aspects of Al open.

Dont forget he's 92 years old now

Most people don't understand how important this man is to the world. 🙏 Thank God for Dr. Morris Chang

Dr. Morris Change deserves a Nobel Prize, surely. The kind of impact he has is second to none. Period.

Love his humor and his stamina.

Took too long for them to give him a standing ovation ...crowd should be roaring and cheering...the man is an ICON. It doesn't get any better. I believe God works through people like him to change the course of humanity. The world is indebted to innovators like you Dr. Morris Chang. THANK YOU!

I am truly inspired! I'm proud to have been born in Taiwan and am currently studying in the United States.

Ing. Morris Chang is incredible Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪 everyone

most of your laptops, smartphones, dishwashers, internet and digital telephony were largely enabled by the efforts of this man. deepest respect.

It was a pleasure to see this talk in-person, having the opportunity to hear from people like Mr. Chang and Pat Gelsinger really makes me proud to be an MIT alum. Also, to anyone else in the Cambridge area you can sign up for these events completely free, even if you're not part of the MIT community.

We owe a very great debt of gratitude to Dr. Chang. More,, much more, than most realize!! Thank you Dr. Chang for all your hard work and dedication to make our world a better place!!

Morris Chang is arguably the most important living person on earth. He is even more important than Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jensen Huang and Sam Altman, because all of those founders who are developing the most advanced AI rely on TSMC's most advanced chip manufacturing.

this was simply amazing. thank you MIT. Dr. Chang spoke so intelligently and fluidly, and in English even as he's older now.

Behind the experience curve theory of the TSMC, one element rarely mentioned is the innovations/patents that were generated thorough the company's experience curve and its R&D. The annual R&D budget of the TSMC is more than 5 billion US dollars. TSMC has more than 68000 patents globally in the semiconductor manufacturing technology. These things are continuously keeping the TSMC at the leading edge of manufacturing the most advanced chips in the world. No other company can surpass it. It is ignorant for some people to think that the success of the TSMC in Taiwan depends merely on the better exercise in logistics execution.

Most important part starts at 36:00. What made Taiwan particularly suited to making advanced chips.

Listening to Morris Chang sir after reading chip war 👏🏽🙌🏽🧿

The greatest tech giant of our era. Proud to be a Taiwanese as Morris Chang !!

Fantastic. What an influential and consequential man.

We always respect and thanks for Morris to bulid such great company TSMC.

One of the important takeaways is not many countries can replace Taiwan as semiconductor powerhouse. Asking people not to jump to other jobs with better pay is a joke in many countries . Morris Chang with his great foresight and understanding of Taiwanese culture, he makes semiconductor technology possible. Without him and dedication of Taiwanese people, we might not have the IT technology what we are having now. People are seriously underestimating how important this person is to the internet, telecommunications and smartphones

Still sharper than most at 92

We welcome Mr. Morris Chang to India, the growing country. We have younger generation with dedication to work.

Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing it on the internet to all of us not at MIT

The world as we know it at this moment wouldn’t be posible without TSMC. Thanks Morris.

Dr. Morris Chang is a living god. I'm so grateful for his dedication to creating the beautiful digital world we live in today.

great video, thank you for documenting this moment of Dr.Morris.

A man who was waaaaaaaaaaay ahead of the curve

台灣以張忠謀為榮❤❤

such a respectable industrial leader Morris Chang🤩👍👍👍

He according to me is most definitely the Architect of the Modern Digital Age.

I like that the thing Dr Chang would have liked to do over again at MIT was to simply study harder!

Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce were the ones who invented the first Microchip in 1959 with Texas Instruments.

A Chinese American Morris Chang did whole round. Used his top industry knowledge, connections in USA to build semiconductors in Taiwan. And now TSMC builds fab in USA. From British education in Hong Kong to PhD in states. Fully integration in USA with rich career. As retired guy he moved to Taiwan in 80s to start another career - as business guy and made it big. This guy is megastar

MIT should’ve just interviewed him instead of having him stand and do this presentation at 92. Come on MIT!

An honor to listen to this incredible man.

A Very wise presentation from Dr Chang, he delivered a lecture on multiple subjects in less than an hour. 🎉🎉❤

Still so so sharp

THAT IS A HEALTHY 92 YEAR OLD MAN

Great talk. Right on time.

我會一起，跟台灣人，走到，未來。

Morris awesome!!!

창 회장님이 하신말씀중 세계1위 반도체 공장이 곧 세계1위 국방디펜스 이다 최고의 반도체 공장이 파괴 되거나 멈추는 걸 그 어떤 나라도 원치 않는다.

❤❤really pioneer for this century

Excellent Presentation 💐

Thank you Sir..Thank you MIT

Fantastic, so inspirational

Legend!

Is it really necessary to have someone introduce the Introducer, who gives a long winded speech to introduce the person that everyone came to hear?

Thank you ❤

It seems that the "free market" if you will found its home in the willing engineers of Taiwan willing to stay in dormitories, and work like regimented soldiers, in a highly disciplined environment. I did not observe in Dr. Chang's presentation, one bit of technology that TSMC invented. It is simply an exercise in logistics execution, that TSMC and the surrounding suppliers have created. What is difficult to recreate isn't the technical expertise for EUV, but the cultural mindet and personal sacrifices that enables the well-oiled machine of EUV production, that requires Americans to put, if not corporate profits, then perhaps national goals at the altar, something Americans haven't done since the moon landing.

I like his scarf. 😎

改變摩爾定律😊

Thanks 😊 Hope that i were at TSMC

This guy is 92 now! wow.

路還要走更遠😊

WATCH AT 1.75X

創立當時的政府真的是全力扶持、水電優惠+稅金減免+補助

台灣是我的世界🌎

They all wallowed in "chips" with closed systems, proprietary systems, while an "IF THEN ELSE" chip, accessible to everyone, would have allowed a decentralized industry, accessible to the local electrician. Outside the USA, this man would have been arrested for theft of know-how and transmission of information abroad (any information sent to Taiwan, Singapore, etc. ends in China) Yes I'm bitter? yes I'm jealous? This gentleman is truly above all of us!

Correction. Dr. Morris Chang is not the founder of TSMC. He is engaged(from Texus instruments then)with a few others to start the TSMCproject initiated by the guomingdang government in taiwan then as a way, among others, of economic development. Needless to say nobody would have known then that TSMC would become the best producer, credit of Dr. Morris Chang.

Thank you

Good luck, my fella

台灣讚

This is so inspiring!!!!! Thank you!

台灣人，最可愛。

Amazing story and amazing personality. Ripping apart 1000 families kind of puts a stain on it

Taiwan NO.1 🇹🇼

台灣人，是我的，親友與夥伴。

they had a 92 year old man stand and speak for an hour. They didn't think this through

Morris Chang

He said he gave a talk the next day about education in asian societies, does anyone have any idea who he may have given it to and whether it may be anywhere online? Sounded interesting

Play it at 1.25 speed. :)

So many naysayers when this gentleman started his business

A combination of really smart people working in a democracy coupled with loyal workers in a less than democratic system, though importantly with some freedom to be comfortable, equals technological progress. The loyal operators were key and they can still be found even in advanced economies so a structure to nurture them and provide a comfortable life for them will pay dividends. In the future, humanoid robots will be critical at the operator, and eventually, technicians level.

Is it possible to get the presentation used in this talk?

A lot of these guys like Morris took their knowledge that they learned at American companies or universities they studied and took it back home and look what happened.

MULTILAYERED GRAPHINE CRYSTAL : REPLACEABLE VINES MADE FROM HYBRID MATERIALS : REPLACEABLE GI TRACT 18:01

MIT and made in Taiwan

教育可以改變人

It’s crazy a 114 yrs old man still speak fluently.

I wonder how come he mentioned Indonesia

量子世界會改變人類😊

I love Morris and I am waiting for him to open chain stores for fried chicken and "chips" of course that's what he is good at.

看見，台灣後人，走到，舞台。

Where does Prof. Chemming Hu fit in this narrative? Without the professor's and his group's expertise at early 2000, can tsmc become this success today?

张老着实牛逼👍👍

Let's see where India will go with the SC manufacturing

το κράτος της ταϊβαν επένδυσε με αναπτυξιακά προγράμματα στο χώρο της τεχνολογίας από τη δεκαετία του 70. Κρίμα που δεν έγινε κάτι αντίστοιχο στην Ελλάδα που προτίμησε να επενδύσει στον τουρισμό και (αναγκαστικά) στην άμυνα

初衷😊

Texas Instruments let one of the greats get away.

this guy may not be the best at knowing all of the science facts but he certainly knows about everybody related including who died first or before major discovery 😂

Kenya 🇰🇪

Would be nice if mit let him having phd stayed and not Stanford

People outside want to join TSMC, while the ones inside wants to escape.

⭐

He did not invent the chip, he just made the manufacturing of chips easier. I would better give the credits to the real inventors of the chip.

🇹🇼

tSMC注意開頭字要小寫t，因為之前大寫T都不賺錢，改變成小t之後突然開始賺錢
