TSMC record
The source text explicitly states 'Founder Morris Chang' in the infobox and confirms in the History section that 'Morris Chang founded the company to commercialize semiconductor research originally developed at ITRI, becoming the world's first dedicated semiconductor foundry.' This directly confirms both that Morris Chang is the founder and that he pioneered the pure-play foundry business model (described as 'the world's first dedicated semiconductor foundry').
