Step 1
Decide if Semiconductor Manufacturing is the right industry to target
The Semiconductor Manufacturing industry
The Semiconductor Manufacturing industry is a cornerstone of the electronics industry, encompassing businesses engaged in the production of semiconductors and other essential components used in electronic applications. Semiconductors, often referred to as microchips or chips, are vital to the functionality of a vast array of electronic devices, from smartphones and computers to cars and airplanes.
What businesses are included
This industry includes companies specializing in the fabrication of various types of semiconductors, including memory chips, microprocessors, and integrated circuits. Notably, the manufacturing of semiconductors for renewable energy applications, such as photovoltaic cells used in solar panels, is also included in this sector.
When targeting the Semiconductor Manufacturing industry on LinkedIn, your search will automatically cover all related sub-industries. To maximize the relevance of your leads, you may want to exclude certain sub-industries that don’t align with your ideal customer profile.
