I have written a full article on the AI chip supply chain.
The supply chain is structured into 4 different phases with 13 layers:
1. Raw Materials: $SHECY, $SUOPY, GlobalWafers, $WAF.DE, $SHWDF, $AXTI, $IQE
2. Manufacturing Equipment: $ASML, $ASM.AS, $AMAT, $LRCX, $KLAC
3. EDA & Core Intellectual Property: $SNPS, $CDNS, $ARM, $RMBS
4. Chip Design: $NVDA, $AMD, $INTC, $QCOM
5. Foundries: $TSM, Samsung Semiconductor, $SMIC
6. Memory and HBM: SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, $MU
