Download or read book Fabless written by Daniel Nenni and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to illustrate the magnificence of the fabless semiconductor ecosystem, and to give credit where credit is due. We trace the history of the semiconductor industry from both a technical and business perspective. We argue that the development of the fabless business model was a key enabler of the growth in semiconductors since the mid-1980s. Because business models, as much as the technology, are what keep us thrilled with new gadgets year after year, we focus on the evolution of the electronics business. We also invited key players in the industry to contribute chapters. These "In Their Own Words" chapters allow the heavyweights of the industry to tell their corporate history for themselves, focusing on the industry developments (both in technology and business models) that made them successful, and how they in turn drive the further evolution of the semiconductor industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world progresses toward Industry 4.0, and manufacturers are challenged to successfully navigate this unique digital journey. To some, digitalization is a golden opportunity; to others, it is a necessary evil. But to optimist and pessimist alike, there is a widespread puzzlement over the practical details of digitalization. To many manufacturers, digital transformation is a vague and confusing concept they nevertheless must grapple with in order to survive the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The proliferation of digital manufacturing technologies adds to the confusion, leaving many manufacturers perplexed and unprepared, with little real insight into how emerging technologies can help them sustain a competitive edge in their markets. This book effectively conveys Siemens's knowledge and experience through a concept called "Smart Digital Manufacturing," a stepwise approach to realizing the promise of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The Smart Digital Manufacturing roadmap provides guidance and enables low-risk, high-reward adoption of new manufacturing software technologies through a series of tipping-point investment decisions that result in optimized manufacturing performance. The book provides readers with a clear understanding of what digital technology has to offer them, and how and when to invest in these essential components of tomorrow?s factories. René Wolf is Senior Vice President of Manufacturing Operations Management Software for Siemens Digital Industries Software, a business unit of the Siemens Digital Factory Division. Raffaello Lepratti is Vice President of Business Development and Marketing for Siemens Digital Industries Software.

Book excerpt: An examination of the environmental and economic implications of the computer microchip industry's exodus from California's Silicon Valley to New Mexico, Virginia, Ireland, and Taiwan. In Making Microchips, Jan Mazurek examines the environmental and economic implications of the computer microchip industry's exodus from California's Silicon Valley to New Mexico, Virginia, Ireland, and Taiwan. Globalization, economic restructuring, and changing manufacturing processes in this rapidly growing industry present difficult new questions for environmental policy. Mazurek challenges the assumptions of U.S. policies designed to promote the competitiveness of domestic microchip makers. She argues that, although these initiatives focus on the economic effects of environmental regulation, they fail to acknowledge how economic and organizational changes within the industry collide with and often confound efforts to monitor and manage pollution from chemicals used in microchip manufacturing. Despite its reputation as a clean industry, microchip manufacturing is fraught with hazards. More than sixty dangerous acids, solvents, caustics, and gases are used to make microchips, and some of them are suspected to be carcinogens and/or reproductive toxins. Mazurek describes the environmental by-products of chipmaking, including soil contamination, air and water pollution, and damage to human health. Applying insights from economic geography to questions of how and where companies organize production, she shows how Silicon Valley played a pivotal role in the development of the microchip. Pairing federal environmental data with structural and geographic information on the six firms that continue to build wafer fabrication plants in the United States, she demonstrates how reorganization and relocation of manufacturing facilities divert attention from trends in toxic emissions and how they complicate public and private efforts to improve the industry's environmental performance. In the concluding chapter, Mazurek marshals her findings in a broader analysis of the expansion of global manufacturing and the resultant environmental problems.

Download or read book Semiconductor Business in the 4th Industrial Revolution Era written by Young (Hwa) Kwon and published by 펜립. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, the semiconductor industry in Korea has been gaining global attention. In the past, it was difficult for Korea to start semiconductor businesses, which was almost barren. Up until 40 years ago, almost all conditions, including the necessary manpower, experience and industrial ecosystem as well as technology, to do a semiconductor business were at their worst. Nevertheless, as a result of many people\'s bloody efforts, Korea has now emerged as one of the top powerhouses in memory semiconductors. It\'s really amazing and I can say it\'s almost a miracle. I think this is a good example not only for many countries, but also for many companies, and this is the reason why many people are interested in learning the success stories of Korean semiconductor industry. However, Korea is still not the best power in the semiconductor industry. This is because the market for system semiconductors is about twice as large as that of memory semiconductors, and Korea is still very weak in this sector. The memory semiconductor sector was able to grow significantly thanks to bold investments and bleeding efforts by large companies, but many companies have been negligent in the system semiconductor sector due to various reasons. Moreover, with various support from the Chinese government, Chinese semiconductor companies are not only growing brilliantly, but also pose a great threat to Korean semiconductor companies. This is because China is growing rapidly in the system semiconductor field and they are gradually speeding up their pursuit in the memory semiconductor field. What\'s fortunate is that Korea has recently been gradually continuing the growth in the system semiconductor sector. Of course, there is still a long way to go, but if we can concentrate on our efforts just like the memory semiconductor field, I believe that the system semiconductor sector will have a bright future. We are now facing a turbulent era called the 4th Industrial Revolution. Therefore, much of our lives are expected to be very different from what we have been doing. And as the 4th industrial revolution progresses slowly, the demand for semiconductors is gradually growing. For example, new markets are opening up little by little such as AI (Artificial Intelligence), IoT (Internet of Things), Autonomous car, and Smart industry. Therefore, it can be said that the outlook for the semiconductor industry is brighter than ever. Furthermore, it is hard to expect the development of the 4th industry without the continuous development of semiconductor technology. As such, semiconductor technology can be said to be an essential driving force to lead 4th industry. Korean economy is now heavily dependent on the semiconductor industry. Since the semiconductor industry accounts for about 20% of the Korean economy, Korean economy is difficult without the growth of the semiconductor industry. Therefore, the government has recently set up various support policies to foster the semiconductor industry. The main characteristic of the semiconductor market these days is that capital is gradually playing an important role in the growth of companies. This is because it creates competitiveness in the market depending on how much capital can be invested in scaling technology ahead of other companies. But the problem is that the cost of investment in scaling technology is increasing astronomically. As a result, companies with capital will invest more capital in scaling technology to gain a market leadership as well as competitiveness, while companies with no capital will be forced to flee the market further. In addition, it tends to increase in the number of companies that is acquired, or go bankrupt by other companies with capital. Meanwhile, most of the existing semiconductor related books focused on technology. I think that it has resulted in people staying away from the semiconductor industry. In fact, for ordinary people who know little about semiconductors, semiconductor technology has many parts that are difficult to understand from the terminology itself. Therefore, this book tried to explain the contents as easy as possible by excluding technical fields, so that even ordinary people could easily understand the industry. Of course, technology is an important part of the semiconductor industry because technology development is leading the industry, but a business is also a factor that cannot be ignored. No matter how good the technology is, the semiconductor industry cannot be maintained unless the transaction is made as a business. Therefore, this book tried not to focus on technology, but to look at the semiconductor market thoroughly from a business perspective. For reference, I worked for a semiconductor related company for about 10 years in the past and received a doctorate in a semiconductor business. I also published 20 papers on a semiconductor business. In this process, I was able to gain deep knowledge about a semiconductor business. However, I wrote the book with the thought that publishing a book would give more people a chance to read because there was a limit as a paper. Therefore, the contents of the book were organized based on the business status of major semiconductor companies and the overall situation of the semiconductor industry. I hope that it will help employees in the semiconductor field, students studying in the semiconductor field, and people interested in the semiconductor field understand the semiconductor business. Finally, in the appendix, 2 interviews were conducted. I think readers will be able to feel the vivid voices of the site in the semiconductor business because it was conducted targeting people who are working in the field of the semiconductor industry.

Download or read book Makers of the Microchip written by Christophe Lecuyer and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2010-09-03 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first years of the company that developed the microchip and created the model for a successful Silicon Valley start-up. In the first three and a half years of its existence, Fairchild Semiconductor developed, produced, and marketed the device that would become the fundamental building block of the digital world: the microchip. Founded in 1957 by eight former employees of the Schockley Semiconductor Laboratory, Fairchild created the model for a successful Silicon Valley start-up: intense activity with a common goal, close collaboration, and a quick path to the market (Fairchild's first device hit the market just ten months after the company's founding). Fairchild Semiconductor was one of the first companies financed by venture capital, and its success inspired the establishment of venture capital firms in the San Francisco Bay area. These firms would finance the explosive growth of Silicon Valley over the next several decades. This history of the early years of Fairchild Semiconductor examines the technological, business, and social dynamics behind its innovative products. The centerpiece of the book is a collection of documents, reproduced in facsimile, including the company's first prospectus; ideas, sketches, and plans for the company's products; and a notebook kept by cofounder Jay Last that records problems, schedules, and tasks discussed at weekly meetings. A historical overview, interpretive essays, and an introduction to semiconductor technology in the period accompany these primary documents.

Download or read book Predicting Semiconductor Business Trends After Moore s Law written by Walden Rhines and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The semiconductor industry exhibited life cycles that were longer than the disk drive industry but had the same free market characteristics. Over time this unfettered competition followed trends in a worldwide market that could be quantified and used to predict the future. Over the past forty years or more, I've collected data and made presentations showing how the actual economics and technology of the semiconductor industry can be used to predict its future direction and magnitude. This book is built upon excerpts of presentations made during the last thirty years that analyze the business and technology of the semiconductor industry. In most cases, the figures in the book are copies of the original slides as they were presented during one or more of those presentations. In general, they show how predictable the semiconductor industry has been. They should also provide insight into the future of the industry.
