you can order MAXIM ICs directly in the webshop on their homepage 
(http://www.maxim-ic.com/). Most chips are even available as free 
samples in low quantities. Be carefully, if you buy the chips they 
charge pretty high shipping costs, we had to pay ~50USD for 10 chips 
delivered by DHL, and they needed several weeks for delivery...

Philips has a webshop on their site as well. Diodes can get ordered 
alternatively e.g. by On Semiconductors (http://www.onsemi.com/), they 
have a very customer-friendly sample shipping policy and deliver fast 
and cheap if you buy something. And their cross-reference-search engine 
is pretty good.

http://www.mouser.com/ and http://avnet.com/ are other fine places to 
check prices and buy parts, even in low quantities.
