Abstract
The semiconductor industry is one of the important high technology industries which occupies a strategic position in the United States, Japan, and Europe industry. That development influences to the restructuring of industial structure.
The semiconductor industry is becoming currently the global industrial organization. It is clear by the glabolity of semiconductor market, the globalization of manufacture plant, and the international alliance of semiconductor firms.
The globality of semiconductor market has the sense of which the generation shift, the silcon-cycle and a market expansion occur concurrence in the world. The globalization of manufacture plant has the sense of which the worldwide semiconductor firms, as Taxas Instrument, NEC and Philips from the global production system round U. S., Japan, Europe and East South Asia. The international alliance of semiconductor firms has the sense of which Japanese firms spread out Memory alliance and U. S. firms spread out MPU alliance with U. S., Japan, and Europe firms.
Therefore, semiconductor firms compete each other in the global market round U. S., Japan, and Europe, by way of which semiconductor firms produce manufacture plant at U. S., Japan, Europe, and East South Asia, and form the international alliance.
