What we’re showing
This chart (also known as a Voronoi diagram) shows the top 10 semiconductor foundry companies by Q1 2023 revenue.
Key takeaway
Taiwan has a very strong grip over the semiconductor industry. Its largest firm, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), earned more than all of its rivals combined in Q1 2023.
Context
- TSMC is known as a “pure-play foundry” because the firm is strictly in the business of manufacturing devices for its clients.
- Samsung is known as an “integrated device manufacturer” (IDM) because it also designs its own chips.
