The establishment of a modern chip fabrication plant (fab) is a complex undertaking that necessitates a globally distributed supply chain for both specialized equipment and raw materials. This report provides a detailed categorization of this supply chain, identifying the primary countries of origin for various types of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and the key countries of supply for essential raw materials. The analysis reveals a high degree of global interdependence, with specific regions demonstrating dominance in particular sectors. For instance, the Netherlands stands out as the leader in lithography equipment , while the United States and Japan maintain strong positions across a broad spectrum of equipment manufacturing, including wafer fabrication, die preparation, IC packaging, and final testing. The supply of raw silicon wafers, the foundational material for chip manufacturing, is primarily concentrated in Japan, the United States, South Korea, and Germany. Understanding this intricate global landscape is crucial for strategic sourcing decisions in the planning and operation of a semiconductor fabrication facility. The interconnected nature of this supply chain underscores the importance of considering geopolitical factors and implementing robust risk mitigation strategies.
