What would you consider to be small players when it comes to chip production? I mean, the factories cost billions. So where would small companies play a role except as contractor, supplier, etc. for the big ones?
- addaon 3y agoThe small players are the equivalents of VIS (Vanguard International Semiconductor) and similar. A few million 8" wafers per year, but targeting specialty processes (GaN, MEMs, etc). Cutting-edge 12" fabs are capital-intensive, but there's a huge and growing role for older processes and specialty processes.
