2008 Semiconductor manufacturing survey results and the fabs of 2013 - David Jimenez & Daren Dance, Wright Williams & Kelly, Inc., Pleasanton, California, U.S.
ABSTRACT
In April of 2007, WWK conducted a survey of semiconductor industry professionals and asked several questions pertinent to the semiconductor manufacturing industry, including the respondents’ expected arrival date of 450mm wafers and the likelihood of direct write patterning being incorporated into more manufacturing processes. A follow-up survey was carried out in 2008, and these combined sets of data are portrayed in a projection of a typical manufacturing facility in 2013.
