Avago Technologies, the Singapore-based maker of semiconductors, is near a deal to acquire wireless chipmaker Broadcom Corp., people with knowledge of the matter said.

Avago is a top competitor to wireless chipmaker Qorvo, which has corporate offices in Hillsboro and in North Carolina.
The acquisition, if it happens, would be the biggest ever in the semiconductor industry, according to The Wall Street Journal.
