No More Cheap Wafers, says Future Horizons
Leading edge capacity will never again be a commodity. Recent trends are making manufacturing more valuable and scarce, according to Future Horizons whose IEF 2011 conference in Seville started this morning.
The trend to go fabless at 65nm, the trend to $3bn fabs reducing the number of IDMs and foundries which can afford them, the trend for capacity to lag demand rather than lead it, and the trend to 450mm, are combining to make leading edge capacity limited, expensive and tight.
