Semiconductor & Wireless Chip

The companies in this industry make semiconductors (computer chips), and other components used in electronic devices as well as wafer processing equipment, semiconductor assembly and packaging equipment, and other machinery used to produce semiconductors. The industry depends highly on demand from the computer industry and makers of telecommunications products and wireless devices such as smart-phones and tablets. Demand is also driven by semiconductor production, consumer interest in electronic products, and corporate spending on information technology. The profitability of individual companies depends on managing costs while investing in new technologies.
