Heard on the Beat: TSMC avoids Taiwan-China event

Reports have surfaced that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC) "boycotted" the Taiwan + China Semiconductor Industry Outlook 2004 conference in San Jose, Calif. on Tuesday (Dec. 7).

TSMC reportedly avoided the event because Richard Chang, president and CEO of archrival Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC), was the keynote speaker. TSMC has filed a number of suits against SMIC for alleged patent infringement.

TSMC was a no show at this year's event, nor was it a sponsor. TSMC was a sponsor at last year's conference, according to an official at the company's U.S. arm.

"Our non-sponsorship of the event had nothing to do with who was speaking," according to an official at TSMC. "We just had a logistical problem."
