Semiconductor (chip) stocks

Semiconductors, also known as semis, or chips,  can be found in thousands of products such as computers, smartphones, appliances, gaming hardware, and medical equipment.
  • A semiconductor chip is an electric circuit with many components such as transistors and wiring formed on a semiconductor wafer. An electronic device comprising numerous of these components is called integrated circuit (IC). Semiconductors can be classified into a small number of categories including memory chips, microprocessors, graphics processing units (GPUs), and integrated chips.
  • Never has the sector been more competitive, with more than 750 companies vying globally to build the insides of the next hot device or power future mega computers.
