Ever since semiconductor technology ushered in the modern economy, with tiny electronic circuits serving as brains for millions of devices-from spacecrafts to car computers, smartphones, medical instruments, and appliances-the world’s semiconductor manufacturers have endured success as applications increased. Here a list of top semiconductor companies
Taiwan Semiconductor
It is the biggest foundry in the world. And is specialized in semiconductor foundry. It is using the industry jargon contract manufacturing on behalf of customer to refer to it. As such integrated circuits manufactured are by ‘pure-play’ foundries on behalf of the other. Taiwan Semiconductor is the most-storied foundry since most of the semiconductor companies depend on it for their chip manufacturing.
Samsung Company
As one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world, Samsung has a research and development office in Bangalore, India, that designs processors, sensors, memory storage solutions and a spectrum of process technologies for performance computing, automotive and connectivity applications.
Intel
Intel develops processors more or less for both the personal computer (PC) and enterprise server markets. The Client Computing Group segment supplies PC processors-a Data Center Group segment serves enterprise customers, including cloud services providers. The remaining portion would include Internet-of-Things (IoT) products for markets such as retail, industrial, and healthcare; memory and storage products; autonomous driving technology; and programmable semiconductors. The company designs the motherboard chipsets, network interface controllers, and integrated circuits.
Qualcomm
It is one of the leading, globally active companies designing and marketing wireless communications semiconductors and products. The telecommunications industry in the world utilizes Qualcomm’s code division multiple access technology that has been a major advancement in wireless communication. Snapdragon chipsets are available many mobile devices.
Broadcom
Broadcom is in charge of manufacturing both the digital and analog semiconductors, alongside software for telecommunication, data center, and networking markets. It gives interfaces with Bluetooth in computers and routers and switches processors across the fiber optic networks.
Nvidia
It is one of the richest companies in the world by market capitalization. The company designs graphics processors for PCs and enterprise servers. These ‘graphics processing units,’ or ‘GPUs,’ deliver the high-end performance called for by computer gamers and people working with computer-aided design.
Hynix Company
One of the biggest manufacturers of memory chips around the world, Hynix chips are used in the production of various end products by different companies needing memory. Established in 1983, Hynix is based in South Korea. Roughly, two-thirds of the company’s revenue stems from the sale of dynamic random-access memory, while one-third comes from NAND flash sales.
AMD (Advanced Micro Devices)
Advanced Micro Devices is engaged in the manufacture of computer processing units and graphics processing units across various domains like consumer electronics, IT environments, automobiles, and servers. It receives the title of Intel’s most direct competitor and has continued to rival with it for over 5 decades.
MosChip
A semiconductor design and verification company based in Hyderabad. It was established in 1999. The company has developed innovative intellectual property relating to over 30 semiconductor circuits. It also created up to 30 verification modules, which customers can combine with third-party IP in its custom silicon solutions. MosChip employs over 1300 engineers in its Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Silicon Valley locations.
The top semiconductor companies manufacture a plethora of products-from microprocessors and memory chips to commodity integrated circuits and complex systems on a chip. This enables them to serve a wide variety of sectors-from consumer electronics to auto industries, telecommunications, and data centers.
