More on Morris Chang
Description from Wikipedia:
Chung-Mou 'Morris' Chang, Ph.D. (張忠謀; pinyin: Zhāng Zhōngmóu), born July 10, 1931, is the founding Chairman of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (TSMC) in 1987. TSMC pioneered the "dedicated silicon foundry" industry and is the largest silicon foundry in the world.
Dr. Chang was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, China. He had wanted to become a writer but his father, an official in the Ningbo county government, persuaded him otherwise. In 1949, as China was in the height of the Chinese Civil War, Chang moved to the United States to attend Harvard University. He transferred to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Mechanical Engineering from there in 1952 and 1953, respectively. Chang accepted a job as an engineering manager at Texas Instruments in 1958. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1964.
During his 25 year career (1958-1983) at Texas Instruments he rose in the ranks to become Group Vice President responsible for worldwide semiconductor business. He left Texas Instruments to become President and Chief Operating Officer of General Instrument Corporation (1984-1985).
Dr. Chang was the recipient of the IEEE Robert N. Noyce Award for Exceptional Contributions to Microelectronics Industry, and the "Exemplary Leadership Award" of the Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA). He was selected by BusinessWeek as one of the "Top 25 Managers of the Year" and "Stars of Asia" in 1998; and by BancAmerica Robertson Stephens as "One of The Most Significant Contributors in the 50 years of Semiconductor Industry" in 1998.
Dr. Chang and his wife Sophie reside in Taiwan. His personal interests include classical music and bridge.
