Do Foundries Have Too Much Power?
December 12, 2011
Today, we are all living in “the foundry world”. Almost all advanced node logic chips are made in foundries (excluding Intel and IBM). Let’s ask ourselves some tough questions regarding these.
- How did it happen and what can we learn from that?
- Is there any danger to the world semiconductor production?
- Do foundries have too much power over their customers?
- Why does one foundry control over 50% of the advanced logic device manufacturing?
