A Brief History of the Fabless Semiconductor EcosystemSemiWiki - Daniel NenniDec. 03, 2012 |
Clearly the fabless semiconductor ecosystem is driving the semiconductor industry and is responsible for both the majority of the innovation and the sharp decline in consumer electronics costs we have experienced. By definition, a fabless semiconductor company does not have to spend the time and money on manufacturing related issues and can focus research and development efforts on specific market segments much more quickly. Seriously, without the fabless semiconductor revolution would we even have the mobile devices we depend on today? Given that, what does the future hold for the traditional semiconductor integrated device manufacturer (IDM)?
