Foundry 2.0 – the Rise of the Technology Foundry

presented by Thomas Sonderman, President, SkyWater Technology Foundry

As we begin 2018, the semiconductor foundry landscape is becoming more diverse than ever before in its ability to enable product and technology innovation. Thanks to growing macro-economic trends around smart homes and cities, connected cars, clean energy and cloud computing, a new sub-set of product and technology needs are emerging that are not driven by a thirst for next-node leadership. These emerging product categories require a different foundry model, a technology foundry model that marries custom product development and volume manufacturing acumen, to take these unique designs from concept to reality. We are at the heart of this manufacturing renaissance, enabling customers to innovate through bringing together IDM development know- how with scalable foundry manufacturing. In this session, learn about the rise of the technology foundry, and the unique growth opportunity for this emerging segment in the semiconductor manufacturing eco-system.
