About semiconductor and semiconductors industry
- Semiconductors, also referred as integrated circuits (IC), are materials with characteristics intermediate between a "conductor" that conducts electricity like metal and an "insulator" through which electricity hardly flows.
  - A semiconductor fab or fabrication plant, is essentially a factory that manufactures integrated chip circuits and silicon wafers.
- They are essential in electronics, including diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, and telecommunications.
  - Semiconductors are found in almost all the electronics devices and play a pivotal role in emerging technologies like AI, 5G, IoT, etc.
- United States (US), Taiwan, and China are considered as semiconductor powerhouses.
- Global semiconductor industry is projected to become a trillion-dollar industry by 2030 (McKinsey).
- Indian semiconductor market is set to achieve a valuation of US$ 55 billion by 2026 (Deloitte).
