Abstract: This study shows the overview of the utilizations of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures in semiconductor industry in 2001- 2014. Merger, Acquisition and divestiture were used as standard management tools by every company in the semiconductor industry in 21st century. They used those methods to overcome the risk of technological or market change. From the fundamental analysis of the panel data, we find that mergers, acquisitions and divestitures brought somewhat good impact on financial performance. Additionally we achieved some case analyses to get the in-depth understandings of the effect of acquisitions and divestitures by semiconductor companies.
