The Semiconductor FATE Is FAST
Photo by Raphael GB on Unsplash The semiconductor manufacturing business model is changing from FATE to FAST. FATE stands for Fabrication, Assembly, and TEesting, while FAST covers full-flow, i.e., Fabrication, ASsembly, and Testing. In the FATE model, the fabrication of semiconductor chips is with one specific company, while a different semiconductor manufacturer provides assembly and testing services. In the FAST model, a single semiconductor manufacturer performs all three steps of the manufacturing process. FATE: Fabrication, Assembly, And TEsting. The Fabrication Of Semiconductor Chips Is With One Specific Company, While A Different Semiconductor Manufacturer Provides Assembly And Testing Services. There are several reasons why the semiconductor manufacturing business model is changing from FATE to FAST. One reason is that it can help to reduce costs by performing all three steps of […]
