20 Most Promising Semiconductor Companies
Bits of sand turned into silicon, doped with certain elements from the Periodic Table-create Transistors—this is the sequence that powers the digital age, or the technological era or, you name it—to a whole new level. Semiconductors have changed the world beyond anything that could have been imagined before them. Pick anything electronic today—Cars, Cell phones, PCs, TVs, Drones, Printers, Wi-Fi, Digital photos, Facebook, Video games—everything uses this technology. Semiconductor applications are further extended to include military equipment, weapons, laboratory equipment and various other industrial control systems. Further, with the proliferation of IoT, Smart devices, Intelligent cars, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and a bazillion of other new-age...
