Between the developers of chips and semiconductor manufacturer always there is a lot of barriers. Some penetrate the barriers more quickly, others with difficulty (compare, the example, of 28-nm AMD and NVIDIA). All obstacles, of course are conditional. But the main problem is that developers are separated from the real production problems .
The problems are compounded not only by reducing the scale of process technology. On the horizon there is a problem to master the production of 450-mm wafers. According to associate Samsung company , puts an end to the traditional production model - IDM (Integrated Device Manufacturers), when the development of semiconductors or substantial assistance in adapting the design to a specific production, could lead the producer.
The agenda includes the creation of new relations and new production models - the pseudo-IDM, as it was called by Samsung. The new model implies a possible cooperation between companies and designers teams in enterprises for the production of chips. Moreover, such cooperation must begin at the earliest stages of new technologies and production methods. Related Products :
