In conjunction with the micro-chunking of my paper on the next generation of semiconductor design I’ve compiled a list of the top semiconductor companies based on their market capitalization at the end of 2007.
I have not included vertically integrated companies like: Samsung, Toshiba, IBM, Hitachi, Sharp, Philips/NXP, etc. I’ve also excluded companies not listed in the West like: Renesas, Hynix, and Freescale. Based on how poor the memory market has been and typically is I’m not sure Renesas and Hynix would make the list and Freescale’s market share has been dropping so they would not be in the top 20.
