Philips as far as im aware doesnt contribute that much anymore. NXP split off forever ago. Philips may have build TSMC together with the taiwanese government but its hardly relevant nowadays.
Philips spun off both NXP and ASML years ago, so all their relevancy in chip manufacturing disappeared and went to both companies. Same happened with LED manufacturing, going to Signify NV.
Philips has only kept its expertise in medical devices and a large pool of patents for many technologies (MPEG-2, H264, Ambilight, BluRay, OLED, etc.)
