Fabless (no fabrication) IC (integrated circuit) techniques are growing rapidly and promise to become the standard method of IC manufacturing in the near future, this book will provide readers with what will soon be required knowledge of the subject. Other books on IC fabrication deal with the strictly physical process aspects of the topic and assume all factors in IC fabrication are under the control of the IC designing company. By contrast, this title recognizing that fabless IC design is often as much about managing business relationships as it is about physical processes. Fabless ICs are those designed and marketed by one company but actually manufactured by another.
*Written by board members of the Fabless Semiconductor Association, an industry consortium that include Xilinx, Intersil, Micro Linear, and many other members
*Approriate for a wide range of integrated circuit (IC) designers and users who need to understand the fabless process and its advantages/limitations
*Discusses important topics such as negotiating with outside fabrication companies, choosing the right electronic design tools, protection of intellectual property and business plans, and maintaining quality control
Summary: Go Fabless
Rating: 5
Excellent overview review of the Outsourcing Industry for the IDM investment community, and non-technical audiences. FSA is THE expert on this model and the authors are exceptional in their knowledge and experience. This book would make a great primer for Suppliers, fabless and IDMs to use as required reading for new employees. It would also be a great asset to the University system as required reading for stidents studying outsourcing, electrical engineering, and MBA programs.
