Semiconductors
Behind every sector shaping the modern economy, aerospace, defense, energy, industrial, transportation, and technology, lies the small but powerful semiconductor.These chips form a foundational layer of modern life, powering everything from smartphones and satellites to autonomous vehicles and quantum computers.
Yet semiconductors are also fragile. Cleanroom defects, supply chain disruption, and export control restrictions all create risks that are global, technical, and fast-moving. As node sizes shrink and complexity increases, exposures can range from manufacturing downtime to intellectual property disputes. For the businesses that design, manufacture, and integrate these critical components, risk management is as complex as the technologies themselves.
ATA provides insurance solutions tailored to the semiconductor industry, with a focus on fabrication pathways, design IP, export controls, and node migration. Because our underwriters engage daily with the full spectrum of advanced technology risks, we are able to respond to industry trends and challenges with clarity and technical insight. We help clients navigate exposures that stretch from the lab to global supply chains, ensuring continuity in one of the world’s most critical industries.
