This guide will show you where to find the various Semiconductors in the Dead Space Remake. The locations are structured according to the areas and based on Chapters!
This guide is for the Dead Space Remake, released in 2023!
We could always use a little more cash, especially when we can spend it on things we need to survive. Collecting semiconductors is important as it will help you purchase ammunition, health packs, and most importantly of all, power nodes.
Power nodes in particular are very useful as they are used to upgrade your weapons and equipment. Unfortunately, they cost 10,000 credits from the store kiosks. For power node locations that you don’t have to spend 10,000 credits to get, check out our Dead Space Power Node Locations Guide!
What are Semiconductors for in Dead Space
Semiconductors in Dead Space are valuable items that you can find in various places on board of the USG Ishimura. These items are not upgrades for your weapons or RIG, nor can you use them as weapons or ammo.
The only purpose of Semiconductors in Dead Space is to sell them at the Store kiosks for Credits. Your Inventory Space is limited, but not too limited. You can easily afford to hold on to the Semiconductors until you get to the next Store location. Or you can track back your steps and get to a Store you have already visited.
This is one of the many changes the developers made to the Dead Space Remake vs the Original game from 2008. The various areas and sections of the ship are now connected and you can freely return to a previously visited area.
How much are Semiconductors worth
There are four types of Semiconductors you’ll be able to find. Each one is worth quite a pretty penny but their value increases depending on what material they are made of.
- Bronze Semiconductors sell for 2,000 credits.
- Gold Semiconductors sell for 3,000 credits.
- Ruby Semiconductors sell for 10,000 credits.
- Diamond Semiconductors sell for 25,000 credits.
Do note that the rarer the material such as Ruby and Diamond, the harder these will be to find. Semiconductors are one of the best and easiest ways to earn Credits in Dead Space.

Chapter 2 locations of power nodes are found on the Medical Deck of the USG Ishimura.
Zero-G Therapy
A Bronze Semiconductor can be found in a locker on your way to the Zero-G Therapy Room on the 5th level of the Medical Deck.
Emergency Room
A Gold Semiconductor can be found in the Emergency Shower Room that Nicole turned into a therapy room. You’ll need to reroute power to the shutters blocking off this area to enter.
Chapter 3 Semiconductor Locations
Chapter 3 takes place on the Engineering Deck of the USG Ishimura.
Gravity Centrifuge
In the circular hallway leading to the Gravity Centrifuge, you can find a Bronze Semiconductor inside a hole in the wall.
Fuel Storage
Near the elevator, in fuel storage, you can find a room containing a Gold Semiconductor.
Calibration Room
In the Calibration Room where you continue Nicole’s side quest, you can find a Gold Semiconductor.
Chapter 4 Semiconductor Locations
Chapter 4 takes place on the Flight Deck of the USG Ishimura.
Mining Administration
In the hallway going towards Mining Administration, there will be a Hall without oxygen. Look out the hole in the wall to find a Ruby Semiconductor in space that you can pick up with Kinesis.
You can find a Bronze Semiconductor in the Main Fuses room near Mining Administration.
Break Room
The Bridge’s Break Room will contain a Gold Semiconductor along with a video talking about the history of the Marker.
Bridge Hall Storage Room
The Bridge Hall Storage room will contain a Gold Semiconductor.
EVA Prep Room
The EVA Prep Room on the 5th floor of the Bridge will contain a Gold Semiconductor.
Chapter 5 Semiconductor Locations
For Chapter 5 we’ll be returning to the Medical Deck of the USG Ishimura.
Chemistry Lab
This Bronze Semiconductor will be hard to miss as you’re required to go into the Chemistry Lab for your main objective. Have fun!
Chemistry Lab Hallway
In a dark corner outside the chemistry lab, you can find a Bronze Semiconductor in the hallway.
Dr. Mercer’s Office
Inside Doctor Mercer’s Office you’ll find a Ruby Semiconductor on the desk with the taxidermy Infector.
Chapter 6 Semiconductor Locations
Chapter 6 takes place in Hydroponics where the USG Ishimura produces its oxygen and food for its crew.
East Grow Chamber
In this Zero-G environment, you can find a Bronze Semiconductor floating around in the East Grow Chamber.
Chapter 7 Semiconductor Locations
These semiconductors can be found in the Mining Deck of the USG Ishimura. Do watch your step as this level is filled with traps thanks to the engineering team.
Ore Storage
You’ll need to access the Ore Storage room on the Mining Deck to find a Ruby Semiconductor. This is part of the Dr. Mercer side quest so you can set your locator for that quest to find your way here.
Storage Room
You can find a Gold Semiconductor in a Storage Room on the 4th level of the Mining Deck.
Mining Deck Floor 3
On the 3rd level of the Mining Deck you can find a small room containing a Gold Semiconductor.
Chapter 8 Semiconductor Locations
Chapter 8 takes place on the Bridge and Communications Hub of the USG Ishimura.
Rare Specimens Room
Before you head to the Bridge for Chapter 8 objectives, head towards Hydroponics and enter the Rare Specimens room with your Level 3 clearance. Inside you’ll find a Gold Semiconductor.
