I can give you charts of the SOX Index components and a little additional insight from the following article:

biz.yahoo.com

With an industry upturn seemingly in the offing, should investors take positions in chip-equipment stocks? Trouble is, most are quite expensive now. According to Zacks Research, the broad chip-equipment industry trades at a price-to-earnings multiple of 157.7 — more than six times the Standard & Poor's 500 P/E of 23.5. And on a price-to-earnings-growth, or PEG, basis, things don't look much better: These companies carry a hefty PEG of 10.5, versus the S&P's 3.1. Mind you, that's just looking at companies that have earnings at all — consensus estimates for many companies this year are still firmly planted in the red. Things start to look a bit better, though, when the focus narrows to the makers of testing and measurement equipment, like KLA-Tencor (NASDAQ:KLAC - news). As a group (again, only examining those expected to earn something this year), these companies carry a P/E of 41.3 and a PEG of three — still on the pricey side, but not as outrageous as some other chip-equipment makers. A pullback in these stocks might give risk-taking investors an opportunity to get in.

I have spent an hour searching for what you are looking for with no more luck than you have had so far. It's an interesting idea and I would really like to see this type of chart myself.
