What this screen can miss
A company may have substantial semiconductor exposure without using one of these terms in its name. The result is a reproducible screen, not a complete census of every semiconductor-related A-share business.
Highest 2025 semiconductor compensation observations
Methodology and limitations
- Average compensation is derived from company-reported employee and compensation figures. It is not the salary received by every employee and does not describe individual pay.
- We use the median to reduce the effect of unusually large observations and show the mean as a separate comparison.
- Missing values are excluded. Year-to-year comparisons include only companies with data in both periods.
- This article is factual data analysis. It is not investment advice, a stock recommendation, or an asset-management service.
- The company-name screen uses the Chinese terms 半导体, 集成电路, 芯片 and 微电子.
