i<>Fu-Chieh Hsu, vice president of the Design and Technology Platform unit and deputy head of R&D at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC), has quietly resigned.

Officials from TSMC said that Hsu resigned two weeks ago. Hsu could not be reached for comment. He was considered TSMC's design guru.

He pushed the silicon foundry giant into the platform arena. TSMC originally launched the so-called Open Innovation Platform in 2008 as an industry-wide design enablement initiative.
