Semiconductors have been the brightest star among the other tech sector segments, particularly due to AI development. AI boom has been the paramount theme of new opportunities for microcircuits. Hence, this rise in the requirement for semiconductors, especially in North Asia, has been a fundamental fuel to this stupendous tech growth in the region.
