TSMC CEO sees slower IC growth Mark LaPedus EE Times (01/09/2006 3:42 PM EST) HALF MOON BAY, Calif. — The semiconductor industry is maturing and expected to see a period slower growth, according to an executive from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC). “Growth will moderate,” said Rick Tsai, president and chief executive of silicon foundry giant TSMC (Hsinchu, Taiwan). “However, technology will continue to advance.” During a presentation at the Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS) event here on Monday (Jan. 9), Tsai said the worldwide IC industry grew 8-to-10 percent in 2005 over 2004. The compound annual growth rate for the semiconductor industry is projected to be 10 percent from 2005 to 2010, he said. TSMC’s viewpoint differs from others. Contrary to popular belief, the semiconductor business is still in the growth phase, according to an economist at Air Products and Chemicals Inc. on Monday (Jan. 9).
