Former TSMC engineer sentenced to 10 years for leaking secrets
Posted on 2026-04-27 17:23:13
The Intellectual Property and Commercial Court has sentenced Chen Li-ming, a
former TSMC engineer to 10 years of imprisonment for leaking classified
information about the company's core technology.

The other three Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing employees received a jail
term ranging from 2 to 6 years for their involvement in leaking the
information to Tokyo Electron.

Prosecutors indicted the three in August last year after TSMC suspected that
the secrets of its advanced 2-nanometer process has been compromised and
reported the case to authorities.

In the indictment, prosecutors accused the three of violating the National
Security Act, stealing classified business information and the nation's core
technology.

The Court today also imposed a fine of 150 million NT on Tokyo Electron.

The case can still be appealed.
