Panel Abstract

Continuous cost-down pressure characterizes the semiconductor market and is the driver behind the industry's disaggregated infrastructure. In the 70s, we outsourced packaging and test; in the early 80s, EDA; in the late 80s, wafers; and in the early to mid 90s, we outsourced IP and front-end design services. Is production the next opportunity to outsource? Who will benefit? Whether a small semiconductor company or the IC division of a large systems company seeking to alleviate the need for temporary technical help; or larger companies looking to permanently slash overhead and reinvest resources in core competencies, operations outsourcing is the next disaggregation trend that will further business success.
