About Semiconductor
A semiconductor IC is a device that can function as an amplifier, timer, and microprocessor and can store data. Semiconductor manufacturers fabricate these ICs based on the designs provided by fabless semiconductor companies. Though fabless semiconductor companies design and sell hardware devices and semiconductor chipsets, they outsource the fabrication process of these devices to semiconductor foundries. Semiconductor ICs find applications in segments such as communications, consumer electronics, computer, automotive, and industrial.
Technavio's analysts forecast the semiconductor market in Japan to grow at a CAGR of 0.61% over the period 2014-2019.
