Semico Fab Database 2019 Summary Now Available

Semico's Fab Database report is a great resource for tracking changes among advanced as well as mature fabs.  You can also sort the data by region or by type of products.  Semico's report includes updates on fabs owned by foundries, memory manufacturers, IDMs, and research facilities.  The database itself includes detailed information about each fab, including operating status, location, process, products, wafer size, capacity, and more.  Semico updates it biannually with a summary of which chan

Market Improvements in 2H 2019 Soften Wafer Demand Decline, says Semico Research

Unit sales are the primary driver for wafer demand. With inventories for many products back in balance, most markets are returning to a 'normal' seasonal pattern. Last quarter, it looked like optoelectronics and sensors were the only categories expected to register positive unit growth in 2019. Now DRAM, NOR, MOS Logic Computing, Automotive, Multi-purpose Logic and a few others will actually register unit growth in 2019.

New Application Design Starts Will Drive 40% of Unit Volumes by 2023, says Semico Research

Many of the traditional end-use applications are experiencing slower design start growth rates due to maturing markets and high design costs. The unit volumes associated with all applications remain healthy, exhibiting an 8.5% CAGR through 2023. However, removing the unit shipments attached to the new, emerging applications drops the CAGR to only 4.3% through 2023.
