1. Source collection
We build supplier profiles from publicly available primary and secondary industry evidence, including company websites, product pages, technical documentation, manufacturing capability pages, press releases, facility announcements and other relevant semiconductor-industry sources.
Company documentation
Official product pages, datasheets, technical pages, facility information and capability statements are prioritized where available.
Industry evidence
Announcements, market disclosures and other public evidence can be used to support or update supplier mappings.
2. Taxonomy mapping
A supplier is not treated as one generic category. Where evidence supports it, capabilities are mapped across a hierarchy: technology → process → product category → product or service → supplier. This structure helps users move from a broad topic such as advanced packaging to a specific sourcing requirement.
3. Capability verification
Mappings are based on evidence that a supplier offers, manufactures, develops or supports the relevant product, material, equipment, service or process capability. Where confidence is limited or evidence is incomplete, records may be marked for review rather than treated as fully verified.
Evidence first
We prefer direct capability evidence over broad company positioning or industry association alone.
Specificity matters
A company may be relevant to a semiconductor category without being qualified for every process, node, package architecture or customer requirement.
4. Ongoing maintenance
Supplier data changes over time as companies launch products, expand facilities, discontinue offerings, enter new semiconductor markets or update their positioning. ProcureVedas periodically reviews profiles and taxonomy relationships and also corrects records when better evidence becomes available.
Updates and corrections
Profiles and mappings can be added, corrected, merged or reclassified as new information is identified.
5. What a mapping does — and does not — mean
A ProcureVedas mapping indicates that available evidence supports relevance to a particular semiconductor capability. It is not a substitute for buyer qualification, technical validation, commercial due diligence, quality-system review or customer-specific approval. Buyers should independently confirm specifications, capacity, certifications, geography, commercial terms and qualification status before procurement decisions.
6. Supplier risk score
The supplier risk score summarizes structural exposure across four evidence-based factors. It supports screening and comparison; it is not a judgement of supplier quality, product performance or commercial suitability.
Geography · up to 40 points
Exposure associated with the supplier’s headquarters and operating jurisdictions, including trade, export-control and geopolitical considerations.
Scale · up to 20 points
Continuity exposure associated with supplier scale and market position, with smaller or niche suppliers carrying more points.
Lifecycle · up to 60 points
Corporate-status exposure, including acquisition, merger and closure. Defunct companies are always classified as Critical.
Evidence · up to 15 points
Data-confidence exposure based on gaps in the available company, location, contact and supporting evidence.
