Asia Tech Wire (Nov 7) -- TSMC founder Morris Chang has asked Nvidia founder Jensen Huang about his interest in the TSMC CEO post, according to Taiwan's Economic Daily News.

The next volume of Morris Chang's autobiography will be available on November 29th. According to Commonwealth, the Taiwanese publisher that acquired the license for the autobiography, Chang had asked Huang if he was interested in taking over as TSMC's CEO.

The 93-year-old Chinese entrepreneur has been planning his succession since 2005, and in 2012 appointed three co-chief operating officers, Mark Liu, C.C. Wei and Chiang Shang-yi, with the intention of choosing one of the three to succeed him.

However, in 2013, Chang privately had a different idea of who he wanted to succeed him as TSMC CEO.

In the next volume of his autobiography, Chang mentioned that he had asked Huang if he would be willing to take over as TSMC's next CEO.

However, Huang did not agree to the proposal and continued to lead Nvidia.

Nvidia has been working with TSMC for many years, and Huang and Chang have been good friends for years.
