Reading Note, statista report
Semi Conductor Supply Chain
- IDMs are responsible for all semiconductor manufacturing processes from design to production.
- Fabless companies produce their designs for semiconductors but do not own any production facilities.
- The actual production (or fabrication) of semiconductors is outsourced to foundry companies.
- Chip design, in IDMs or fabless companies, relies on design software and intellectual property.
- Chip fabrication, in IDMs or foundries, depends on specialized manufacturing equipment and materials.
Chip assembly, in IDMs or outsourced semiconductor assembly and test companies (OSATs), requires advanced packaging equipment and chemicals. OSATs are specialized businesses that assemble and test finished chips designed by other firms.
