Semiconductor Wafer Markets and Manufacturing Costs

The IC Knowledge - Strategic Cost Model takes the top three companies in each of four segments and provides a detailed look at all of their current and past processes on 300mm and forward forecasts out to the next decade. Specifically the model covers: DRAM - Samsung, Micron and SK Hynix, Foundry - TSMC, Global Foundries, Samsung, IDM Logic - Intel MPU, IBM Internal processor, ST Micro, NAND - Samsung, Toshiba, SK Hynix in each case with 2D and 3D coverage. In each case we present a detailed introduction date, general process"s details, process flows in order, pitch by layer and node, mask layers, multi patterning usage and total masks. Process blocks, pitch and multi patterning can be edited for each case. For each target company and process every 300mm fab they have is predefined so that if you juts pick a fab the fab details and supported processes are pre defined (although you can override them) and detailed outputs of equipment and materials requirements are provided. Details of the Strategic Cost Model and ordering information can be found on Electronics.ca Publications" web site: IC Knowledge - Strategic Cost Model.
