OVERVIEW

As semiconductor companies increasingly outsource and globalize products, they experience numerous benefits from the cost savings, partnerships and quality of the final product they distribute to their end customers. Unfortunately, in recent years, semiconductor manufacturers have been losing billions of sales dollars to the proliferation of counterfeits and the gray market — and most companies don’t even realize what they are losing.

To help demonstrate the impact counterfeits have on semiconductor companies, this paper explains why semiconductor companies must take action before their sales and reputations are further damaged by this epidemic.
