Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA)


 

 

Founded in 1977 by five microelectronics innovators, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) is the premier trade association representing the U.S. semiconductor industry.

The Semiconductor Industry Association brings together the 95 companies responsible for more than 85 percent of semiconductor production in this country all under one roof. SIA gives its members a forum to advance the global competitiveness of the $118 billion U.S. chip industry, helps shape public policy on issues critical to the industry, and provides a spectrum of services to aid members in growing their own businesses.

With the SIA, U.S. semiconductor companies are addressing significant challenges:

  • Educating and recruiting a highly skilled workforce
  • Maintaining the nation's world leadership in semiconductor technology
  • Promoting fair and open trade
  • Providing safe working conditions in production facilities
  • Protecting the environment
  • Tracking and distributing statistical information of market trends

The Semiconductor Industry Association helps unite an industry of innovators by providing every chip company with a powerful voice and enabling collective progress in trade, technology, public policy, occupational safety and health, environmental concerns, industry statistics, and government procurement.
