Abstract: In recent years, the semiconductor supply chain has experienced dramatic changes, due to geopolitical tensions and public health events, which have provided insights into supply chain disruptions and the shortage economy. This review synthesises current research on semiconductor supply chain disruptions to offer a comprehensive analysis of the vulnerabilities of the semiconductor supply chain and resilience strategies. We begin with an overview of the key characteristics and complexities of the semiconductor supply chain. Focusing on geopolitical security issues and public health events, we provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges faced and mitigation strategies adopted. Moreover, we identify important gaps in the literature and propose future research directions, emphasising the need for innovative supply chain management practices and decentralised networks for necessary redundancy. Our analysis contributes to the ongoing discussion on how the robustness and adaptability of the semiconductor supply chain, to ensure its sustainability in the face of a rapidly changing global landscape.
