Description Brazil has implemented policies and incentives for the development of semiconductor chain in the country. In this paper, we described the configuration of semiconductor global chain, identifying the main activities of Brazilian companies, the infrastructures involved and the influence of the industrial policies that are fostering the chain configuration. We carried out a qualitative exploratory study in order to obtain the empirical insights of the current Brazilian operations and strategies to leverage its participation in the semiconductor supply chain. Data was collected by semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Brazilian companies already operate in some value chain activities of the semiconductor chain, especially back-end and Design, but some elements that are constraints to move up in this market were identified: the lack of a national infrastructure, experienced labor, and a proper industrial policy to leverage this economic sector, motivating new ventures, developing national production and attracting foreign companiesDOI: 10.12660/joscmv7n1p68-84URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.12660/joscmv7n1p68-84
