Nanoelectronics research center imec and AlixPartners, a leading global business advisory firm, announced today that the two companies are co-developing a cost modeling solution to assess the cost of advanced semiconductor technology options. The work is aimed at assisting the semiconductor industry in improving the operational intelligence around costs of future technology nodes.
This modeling will assess the cost of various patterning options for N10/N7 nodes, advanced packaging solutions and 3D NAND memory - all topics with big impacts on the price-tag of future consumer electronics.
