GlobalWafers makes the silicon wafers that are a crucial component for chipmakers making advanced semiconductors. Leading GlobalWafers is Doris Hsu, who has run the Taiwan-headquartered firm since 2011, when it spun off from Sino-American Silicon Products, another Taiwan-based firm. In 2015, Hsu took GlobalWafers public, and it's now the third-largest wafer manufacturer, supplying the world's top 25 semiconductor firms.
