Silicon Logic Engineering (SLE) provides services for designing application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), including the creation of ready-made semiconductor intellectual property (SIP) "blocks" that can be incorporated into chip designs. SLE works with leading ASIC suppliers, such as IBM Microelectronics and Texas Instruments, which fabricate the chips. It was founded in 1996 by engineers from Cray Research, a pioneering maker of supercomputers. In mid-2006 Tundra Semiconductor acquired SLE for $14 million in cash and stock and made it a division. In June 2009 Tundra and SLE were acquired by Integrated Device Technology (IDT) for approximately $105 million.

Silicon Valley Microelectronics (SVM) provides silicon wafers and services to Silicon Valley -- and the rest of the world. SVM distributes wafers to the semiconductor and solar industries. The company makes standard silicon products and wafers made from specialty materials, such as gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, and silicon carbide. SVM offers grinding, polishing, film deposition, and other related wafer-processing services. Its solar business includes SV Solar (solar module manufacturing) and Vista Solar (installation and monitoring services). SVM sells its products in Asia, Europe, and the US. Owner and CEO Patrick Callinan founded SVM in 1990 as a distributor of ceramic packages for electronic devices.

Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. (SPIL) is one of the world's top providers of high-precision semiconductor packaging and testing services. It receives unfinished chips from its customers, tests them, and encases them in specialized protective packages for shipment and use. A preferred supplier for Intel, SPIL checks products that are commonly used in PCs, cell phones, digital still cameras, and cable modems. It is among the top three such vendors in the world, though well behind industry leaders Amkor and ASE. Customers in the US provide half of SPIL's sales.

Silterra aims to supply silky-smooth service to chip makers. The silicon foundry company supplies contract manufacturing services: customers send their own designs to Silterra, which then produces finished chips in its wafer fabrication facilities. Approximately half of its products are shipped to the US; Taiwan and South Korea each receive 25%. Silterra's investors include two investment arms of Malaysia's Ministry of Finance, which owns about two-thirds of Silterra, as well as LSI Corp., Seiko, Bank Industri Malaysia, and Walden Holdings. Silterra was founded in 1995 as Wafer Technology (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. and first began producing semiconductors in late 2000.

Siltronic AG develops, manufactures, and supplies silicon wafers. It offers polished and non polished, epitaxial, annealed, floatzone, and specialized wafers.
