This article describes a life-cycle cost model that takes the complex interaction between activities in ICmanufacturing and their supporting facilities within a fab into account. In addition, the model provides all necessary outputs for environmental impact modelling such as gaseous emissions, concentrations of wastewater compounds, etc.
