|
| | PANEL: How Will the Fabless Model Survive?
 |
| | Chair: Don Clark - Wall Street Journal, San Francisco, CA
| | | Organizers: Riko Radojcic
|
| | The fabless model was traditionally enabled through clean interfaces -- both in technical and business terms -- between foundries and fabless semiconductor companies. However, with advanced geometry and analog/mixed-signal process nodes, the technical challenges have been greatly magnified, so that successful semiconductor design requires intimate co-optimization of design and manufacturing, infringing upon those clean interfaces. The panel presents views to these challenges and specifically how companies are planning to address them.
