Some time ago, Shang-Yi Chiang, a veteran in the semiconductor industry, accepted an invitation from the California-based Computer History Museum to tell the sotry about his services at Taiwan’s TSMC and China’s SMIC, and the transcripts of his interview were recently released. Many people who have made comments in the media on his revelations have probably never had a conversation with Chang, shared a meal with him, or attended a TSMC technical forum or other professional events.
