Silicon Wafer Production Process
Semiconductors are extremely critical and central components in modern technology. Most of the electronic devices we use today operate on these integrated circuits that are housed on silicon wafer chips. It does, however, take a lot of processing and work to get the semiconductor in that condition from the raw

Over the past decade, the IC industry has been paring down its older capacity as manufacturers have consolidated or transitioned to the fab-lite or fabless business models. In its recently released Global Wafer Capacity 2020-2024 report, IC Insights shows that due to the surge of merger and acquisition activity in the middle

The success and proliferation of integrated circuits has largely hinged on the ability of IC manufacturers to continue offering more performance and functionality for the money. Driving down the cost of ICs (on a per-function or per-performance basis) is inescapably tied to a growing arsenal of technologies and wafer-fab manufacturing
