In the post-financial-crisis world, investors have widely embraced the concept of dividend investing. Those quarterly dividend payments are real cash in your pocket, which is very valuable, especially when markets go south. What may surprise you is that the technology sector contains several great dividend stocks. This might seem counterintuitive, since technology companies traditionally were reluctant to pay dividends to shareholders, preferring instead to retain as much cash as possible to reinvest back into the business.

Semiconductor companies are involved in a wide range of chips and processors that are utilized across industries, including electronics, smartphones, and automotive. Let's take a look at Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM), and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN).
