Today, pure-play foundries provide manufacturing services not only to fabless companies but also to IDMs. Hence, looking at the other side of the coin, it would not be imprecise to say that the pure-play foundry model also transformed the semiconductor industry. After TSMC, about ten ...
The now well known trend of IC manufacturers abandoning the IDM fab business model to become fabless or fab-lite has resulted in, or is the result of, depending on the point of view, the growing prominence of pure-play foundries in IC design, process tec
IC Insights defines a pure-play foundry as a company that does not offer a significant amount of IC products of its own design, but instead focuses on producing ICs for other companies. Examples of pure-play foundries include TSMC, GlobalFoundries, UMC, and SMIC. Integrated device manufacturer...
With the recent rise of the fabless IC companies in China, the demand for foundry services has also risen in that country. In total, pure-play foundry sales in China jumped by 30% in 2017 to $7.6 billion, triple the 9% increase for the total pure-play foundry market that year. More...
A pureplay foundry with FDSOI (rather than the usual crowd of IDMs with SOI) is at least something differentiated. Daniel Nenni said: Fixing up the old Burlington IBM fab is a good idea. When I visited a few years ago it was like time traveling ...
both companies combined will beat X-Fab, pushing the company back to rank eight. At the same time, with annual sales of about $400 million and production locations in Asia, Europe and the USA, the company claims to be the world's largest foundry specialized in analog/mixed signal products...

The two-year-old Chinese pure-play foundry is ramping up three state-of-the-art fabs in Shanghai's Pudong area. And a year after starting initial production, SMIC has transitioned from 0.25- to 0.18-micron processing, marking it the first Chinese foundry to achieve this level. ...
Ltd. was the largest pure-play foundry for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices in 2011, according to market analysis firm IHS iSuppli.IHS ranked TSMC number one, ahead of Silex Microsystems and Teledyne Dalsa on an estimated tripling of MEMS revenue to $53.0 million. IHS differs ...
