In this article, we have collected the top 15 Semiconductor manufacturers in China.
What is semiconductor?
Integrated circuits (ICs) made of semiconductor materials such as silicon are an essential part of modern electronic devices widely used in commercial and consumer industries. These circuits must be able to be switched on and off electronically (like transistors) in order to perform basic logic calculations in a computer. To achieve this near-instantaneous switching capability, the circuit needs to use a semiconductor material which is a substance with an electrical resistance between that of a conductor and an insulator.
