Also when IC design companies made an order with an IDM they were most anxious about the danger of their designs being copied. Because TSMC did not develop or manufacture their own products but only provided a contract manufacturing service pure and simple, the question of trust uppermost in the client's mind was thus solved.
此外，一般 IC 設計公司將訂單發給 IDM 時，最擔心其設計會有被抄襲的危機，而台積電因為沒有研發生產自己的產品，純粹提供專業的代工服務，反而解決了客戶最關切的信任問題。
