Semiconductor Manufacturers are entities that fabricate the integrated circuits present in all electrical and electronic devices. Manufacturers manage multiple-step sequences of photographic and chemical processing, during which electronic circuits are gradually created on a wafer made of pure semiconducting material, most commonly silicon. Segments of this chip-making technology include: deposition, etching, and inspection equipment. Key players include: TSMC, SMIC, and Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd.
