Semiconductor sales leaders by year Information & Semiconductor sales leaders by year Links at HealthHaven.com

This article lists the top 10~25 largest semiconductor companies by sales leaders since 1987.

The article distinguishes between two types of semiconductor companies:

Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDM) such as chip makers from Intel and Samsung that design, manufacture and sell their chips.
Fabless manufacturers such as Qualcomm and NVIDIA that design and sell chips but outsource manufacturing to foundry companies.

Other article would distinguishes foundry companies such as TSMC and UMC that manufacture chips designed and sold by their customers especially from fabless companies.
Another article for semiconductor equipment sales leaders would distinguishes IC equipment supplier's revenue which support all the semiconductor companies.

Gartner Dataquest Corp. has the longest history as the reference publisher of this ranking. Another sources of semiconductor sales market share have also become available by iSuppli Corporation starting from for year 2000. Only corporate semiconductor revenues are taken into account and businesses activities outside this sphere are excluded, for example IBM non-semiconductor business lines are excluded.

In the majority of cases, rankings are based on the analysis of the financial reports of the chip makers, although definitional issues regarding chip types, multichip modules, foundry manufacturing and chip license revenues create differences in reported numbers. The ranking for a given year is published in March of the following year when all the financial reports of the companies are closed.

Notes :

(1) : In December 2005, AMD divested itself of its Flash Memory business, choosing solely to focus on its microprocessor and logic businesses. This change led to predictions that AMD's market share and spot in these rankings would drop precipitously. However, in June 2006 AMD announced its intent to purchase ATI Technologies. The buyout of ATI Technologies closed in October 2006, and the additional revenues from the purchase of ATI make up the majority of AMD's revenue and market share gains (in the terms of this list)
(2) : In 2006, the semiconductor operations of the parent company, Philips were sold to a consortium of private equity firms through an LBO to form a new separate legal entity named NXP Semiconductors.
(3) : In 2006, Freescale (formerly known as Motorola semiconductors) agreed to be acquired by a consortium of private equity firms through an LBO —said to be the largest leveraged buyout of a technology company in history—.
(4) : In 2006, the memory activities (essentially DRAM) of the parent company, Infineon were spun off to form a new separate legal entity named Qimonda. The comparison between year 2006 and 2005 takes into account this split. Qimonda becomes the world's fourth largest DRAM manufacturer.
(5) : In 2006, Spansion joint-venture from AMD 37% and Fujitsu 63%.

Notes :

(1) : In 2005, the two companies AMD and Fujitsu sold their stake in their joint-venture company Spansion previously controlled by AMD. With combined revenues of $5.97 billion in 2005, AMD/Spansion would have jumped to number eight in the rankings if AMD had not spun off its Spansion flash-memory division. Following the split, AMD was ranked at 15th and Spansion at 24th in 2005.
(2) : The foundry activities of IBM are excluded from this revenue.

Notes :

(1) : In 2002, the semiconductor operations of the two Japanese parent companies, Mitsubishi and Hitachi were spun off and merged to form a new separate legal entity named Renesas.
(2) : In 2003, the semiconductor operations of the parent company, Motorola were spun off to form a new separate legal entity named Freescale.
(3) : The foundry activities of IBM are excluded from this revenue.
(4) : In 2003, AMD and Fujitsu created a joint-venture company named Spansion, which gathers their activities in flash memories. Because AMD owns 60% of the company, its revenue is assigned to AMD in the ranking.
