Commentary: Stakeholders see turning point for chip industry
The semiconductor industry is at an inflection point that will determine its course for years to come, according to an informal survey of respected industry executives. The days of fabless semiconductor startups’ receiving $100 million or $200 million to develop new generations of complex system-on-chip products are over. Venture capital firms have not received the returns required to justify such investments, and the partners who championed them are out.
So, what’s next? Will there be more semiconductor startups? How will they be funded? And in a severely curtailed funding environment, where will the groundbreaking innovations come from?
