The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) is one of the most prominent exchange-traded funds providing targeted exposure to the U.S. semiconductor sector.

It is designed to track the NYSE Semiconductor Index, which consists of the 30 largest U.S.-listed companies involved in the design, manufacture, and distribution of semiconductors.

So far, SOXX has been a massive outperformer, surging over 1,432% since its inception in July, 2001. In 2025 alone, the fund surged approximately 40%, driven by the relentless demand for AI-capable hardware. Currently, this ETF has about $21.7 billion in assets under management.

While it focuses on U.S.-listed stocks, it includes international giants via ADRs (American Depositary Receipts), such as TSMC and ASML.

The fund covers the entire value chain, including chip designers (fabless), manufacturers (foundries), and equipment makers (the "picks and shovels" of the industry).
