Semiconductor device fabrication is the process used to manufacture semiconductor devices, typically integrated circuits such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, and memories. It is a multiple-step
Semiconductor fabrication plant
…each with a few pieces of equipment reaching as high as $340 million (e.g. EUV scanners). A typical fab will have several hundred equipment items. Semiconductor fabrication requires many expensive devices. Estimates put the cost of building a new fab at over one billion U.S. dollars with values as high as tens of billions…
