Semiconductor Value Chain with a Focus on IP Providers
By Global Semiconductor Alliance(GSA)
The semiconductor industry operates within a complex and rapidly evolving ecosystem driven by continuous innovation. Central to this ecosystem is the semiconductor value chain, which includes several key stages: chip design, wafer fabrication, final assembly, and raw material sourcing. Each stage is crucial to the production and functionality of semiconductor devices. In conjunction with the Global Semiconductor Alliance's IP Interest working group, Expedera explores how IP providers are pivotal within this framework, especially in the chip design phase.
