As a result, TSMC saw a businesses opportunity and thus recommended itself to IC design companies. Better technology, lower defect rates, and more precise delivery times together with its production capacity all permitted a significant lowering of costs, enabling TSMC to offer its products at favorable prices.
台積電卻因此看到了商機，而向 IC 設計公司毛遂自薦，並以更好的技術及良率、更準確的交貨時間，再加上產能均攤讓成本大幅下降，可以提供更優惠的價格。
