Can 450mm Decommoditize the Semiconductor Industry?

10/2/2011

7 Comments

 
Is the transition from 300mm to 450mm wafers just driven by 20-30% cost reduction? Or is there more to it than meets the eye? Let's take a look...

Real Men may have neither Fabs nor Products

7/4/2011

2 Comments

 
All of us know Jerry Sanders' famous quote from the 1990s. "Real men have fabs", said the AMD CEO. Over the past decade, several famous companies, many of whom had real men, dumped their fabs and went fab-lite or fabless. I believe there will be a similar move towards the IP business model in the next decade. Here's why...

The most cut-throat portion of the semiconductor industry

6/13/2011

2 Comments

 
As you'd know, I spent three years at SanDisk before joining MonolithIC 3D Inc. Unfortunately, my time in the flash memory industry coincided with some of it's worst years. I saw huge losses, big layoffs, ridiculous price declines and a hostile take-over attempt :-( Based on this, you'd think flash memory is one of the most difficult parts of the semiconductor industry. Not true. The DRAM industry is so cut-throat that the flash industry appears benign in comparison.

An alternative approach to Moore's law

6/6/2011

1 Comment

 
A few weeks back, in my "Looking Beyond Lithography" post, I explained the reasons why flash memory makers such as Toshiba, Samsung and Hynix are exploring an alternative approach to Moore's law. In this blog-post, let's see if this approach is viable for logic technologies...

We have a guest article today from Brian Cronquist, VP of Technology at MonolithIC 3D Inc. Brian has 30 years of global experience on “both sides of the silicon wafer table”: starting and building Chartered Semiconductor (Singapore) technology and customers as a captive then pure foundry, and non-volatile FPGA technology at Actel as a fabless partner and customer to over 7 foundries and IDMs. He discusses cost implications of Monolithic 3D.
