Companies that design and manufacture semiconductors (chips) — the core of every electronic device, from smartphones to AI data centers. Roles split into fabless designers, contract-manufacturing foundries, and equipment makers. In the U.S. this is the industry most tightly bound to industrial policy and security, through the CHIPS Act's push to re-shore production and through export controls.

FAQ
Why is the semiconductor industry so tied to government?
Chips underpin AI, communications, and defense, making them central to economic security. The U.S. supports domestic production through the CHIPS Act and limits exports of advanced chips.
Which U.S.-listed companies are representative?
Fabless designers like NVIDIA, AMD, and Qualcomm; equipment makers like Applied Materials and Lam Research; and integrated firms like Intel.
What is the difference between fabless and foundry?
Fabless firms focus on design and outsource manufacturing (e.g., NVIDIA); foundries specialize in contract manufacturing. The split avoids massive fab investment.
