Facilities Management Special Supplement
-- Semiconductor International, 11/1/2000
As the cost of 300 mm fabs continues to rise and the risk of failure becomes more and more unacceptable to industry, it is critical that an inventory of 300 mm qualified sites be available.
Optimizing Fab Design and Deployment
Effective capacity investment in the semiconductor industry requires complex trade-offs between the type, timing, scale and location of the capacity deployed.
A Glimpse at Semiconductor Facilities
The push to 300 mm processing is clearly driving material handling and automation trends in new fabs. Old and new fabs alike are finding advantages in outsourcing gas and chemical management.
Survey Reveals Facilities Management Challenges
To investigate what kind of challenges and trends face today's facilities managers, Semiconductor International and the Cahners Research Group conducted a telephone survey. Results from 100 respondents are presented.
