Horizontal-vertical and conglomerate merger


I'm trying to find out whether integration between the following types of firms would constitute a horizontal, vertical, or conglomerate merger. I took a guess, but am not sure as to the reasoning behind each. Can you clarify the types of mergers for me?

A food company and a drug company = conglomerate merger

A milk producer and a cheese producer = horizontal merger

A computer chip manufacturer and a silicon producer = vertical merger
