Dr. Morris Chang is not a household name outside the semiconductor field. However, Taiwan Semiconductor's founder and chairman draws media swarms when he makes public appearances in the island nation (or "renegade province," if one follows the party line of the People's Republic of China). He visits his firm's Silicon Valley offices a few times each year, hardly a surprising development for one with a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford.Chang's comments during a recent interview are instructive. He feels the United States should retain more of its industrial base. "Maybe Silicon Valley or the United States has given up too much manufacturing," he said.
