Toward Successful IC Foundry Venturing
The goal of this research is to analyze the evaluation criteria used by integrated circuit (IC) designers when selecting foundry service providers. With an MCDM model considering the aspects of technology, production, customer service and support, and manufacturing location, we interviewed managers and experts of Taiwan's IC design firms, using the AHP survey with 16 attributes, to determine the areas of top concern with respect to foundry evaluation criteria. In this study process technology has been found to be the most significant evaluation criterion in view of competitiveness in the customer market.
The variational trend of agglomerate intensity after enhancing ferrum and reducing silicon in vanadium titanium magnetite and the measures of improving intensity at the condition of high-ferrum and low-silicon have been studied.
