Although
TSMC offers a variety of wafer product-lines (high-voltage, mixed-signal, analog),
TSMC is best known for its logic product-line. Various fabless high-tech companies such as ATI, Broad com, Conexant, Marvell, NVIDIA, and VIA are customers of
TSMC.
At least one semiconductor company, LSI Logic, re-sells
TSMC wafers through its ASIC design services and design IP-portfolio.
