Semiconductor Manufacturing Economics
Are you concerned about securing a fair price for semiconductors, including foundry wafers?
In the ever-evolving landscape of the semiconductor industry, grasping the intricate economics of semiconductor manufacturing has never held greater significance. Gaining visibility into production necessitates a rigorous accounting of manufacturing processes needed to make semiconductors.
TechInsights’ Semiconductor Manufacturing Economics Cost and Price Models are bottom-up simulators of wafer fabrication through assembly and test, providing a detailed breakout of manufacturing costs as well as projected pricing versus volume. Understanding manufacturing costs and pricing versus volume arms the user with the data to negotiate more effectively with an understating of their suppliers margins and typical pricing practices. Semiconductor Manufacturing Economics is the industry standard for cost and price modeling of semiconductors, allowing users to:
- Negotiate more effectively by leveraging insights into semiconductor manufacturing costs
- Reduce purchasing prices based on product volumes
- Quantify the cost difference of a larger or more complex die
- Know the value of manufacturing yield improvement
Get unique and detailed insights into semiconductor manufacturing and understand this evolving landscape using TechInsights’ industry-leading business analysis tool.
