Inside the Chip Supply Chain: Navigating Intra-Country Complexities and Dependencies

CHIP MANUFACTURING COMPLEX DEPENDENCY (1).pdf from anupriti

This mind map explores the complexities of intra-country supply chain dependencies within the semiconductor industry. It covers key processes such as raw material sourcing, chip manufacturing, assembly, and testing, all within a single country. The map highlights challenges like reliance on specific minerals (e.g., silicon), the intricate network of component suppliers, and the role of specialized manufacturing facilities. Transportation, logistics, and distribution are also central, as chips need to be efficiently moved through various stages of production. Government regulations, trade policies, and intellectual property concerns play a significant role in shaping the industry’s landscape. Risk factors such as geopolitical tensions, technological advancements, and supply chain disruptions are explored in depth.  Available at https://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.11424.70403
