Today’s leading-edge mic roprocessor chips comprise 80 billion transistors. The complexity of these semiconductor devices requires sophisticated design automation tools and manufacturing facilities\, which are increasingly expensive and capital in tensive: a leading-edge chip fabrication plant\, or “fab\,” costs roug hly $10 billion. As a result\, close collaboration between electronic desi gn automation (EDA) companies\, fabless chip design companies\, chip manuf acturers\, wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) companies\, materials supplie rs\, and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) companies is ne cessary to sustain the exponential pace of technology advancement.\n\nThis seminar will begin by providing a high-level overview to explain why chip s are considered “the new oil\,” with a market projected to grow to $1 T by the end of this decade.
