Global Semiconductor Foundry Market 2017-2021

About Semiconductor Foundry
A semiconductor circuit chip is a tiny electronic device consisting of billions of components, such as transistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, that store, move, and process data. The semiconductor chips are made from semiconductor materials such as silicon and germanium. These materials have semiconducting properties, which enable precise control of the flow of electrical current through them. Semiconductor chips enable devices to store and retrieve documents, photos, and music. They make up the brains, memory, and capacity for data communication for various products including cellular phones, TVs, gaming systems, aircraft, sea crafts, industrial materials, and military machinery, equipment, and weaponry. Mechanical products are heavily dependent on chip-based electronics. Fuel supply system in automobiles is operated by the carburetor. The carburetor was designed as a completely mechanical system that operated by opening and closing of valves to control the flow of fuel powered by gravity in a two-wheeler or a fuel pump in a multi-wheeled vehicle. But currently, the fuel supply system is controlled by an electronic system. The carburetor still exists, but its working is performed using an electronic governor that constantly monitors and adjusts the carburetor based on the required or set parameters. The manufacturing of semiconductor ICs is carried out by semiconductor foundries.
