Needs shedloads of R&D people
TSMC has announced it is planning to hire about 30 percent more R&D
engineers, and 15 percent of them will get the job before the end of
the year.
Jason Chen, VP of global sales and marketing, says TSMC currently employs some 1,200 engineers tasked with R&D work.
"There has been no slowdown in our research efforts despite
the economic slowdown, and we'll continue to push forward on that
front," claims Chen.
TSMC plans to expand into other businesses outside its core foundry
business, and the influx of R&D people is a clear indication it is
serious about its plans.
