Silicon Manufacturers Group

About the SEMI Silicon Manufacturers’ Group (SMG)

As part of the EMG, SEMI SMG facilitates collective efforts on issues relating to the silicon industry, including the collection and development of market information and statistics about the silicon industry and the semiconductor market. This information promotes customer awareness of the technical and business issues facing the silicon industry in meeting the semiconductor industry expectations in product quality and value.

Silicon wafers are the fundamental building material for semiconductors, which in turn, are vital components of virtually all electronics goods, including computers, telecommunications products, and consumer electronics. The highly engineered thin round disks are produced in various diameters (from 1 inch to 12 inch) and serve as the substrate material on which most semiconductor devices or "chips" are fabricated.

SEMI tracks shipments and provides consolidated reports on the industry. Learn more about SEMI Silicon Shipment Statistics, Silicon Wafer Data Collection and Semiconductor Materials Market Data.
