Semiconductor is well-known as one of the fundamental products in contemporary information society. However, companies in the semiconductor industry often experiences financial difficulties, and we do not have a solution for it. From the analysis of semiconductor companies f financial structure, we find that 1) entrants have to prepare the different strategy in accordance with each segment fs situation, and 2) focused product line policy brings more profit than diversified product line policy.
