By dissecting the business model structures and the evolution processes of these two leading foundries, this paper attempts to find the points of difference for TSMC and UMC under 90% points of parity in their business models. Grounded theory qualitative research method, casual maps, and social network methods were imported to collect and analyze various data. The findings include internal development...
The goals of this paper are to explore the evolutionary business models between the foundry and fabless and the inter-firm engineering processes. By conducting field interviews and empirical study, this research summarizes three phases of inter-firm business models which include: transaction-based, partnership-based, and collaboration-based relationship. In the third phase, the participating partners...
The goal of this research is to explore what the main elements driving the business model innovation are and what the relationships between business model innovation and technology innovation are. Through analysis of TSMC's business model innovations, this study found that (1) Fierce competition and continual technology advancements in the semiconductor industry lead to TSMC's innovations on business...
With the migration to deep-submicron technology, foundries face even more challenges than ever to help their customers to develop IC for time-to-market. The goal of this research is then to explore how foundries and EDA tool vendors collaborate with each other for DFM/DFY solutions. By conducting field interviews and empirical study on two leading foundries and three EDA tool vendors, this research...
As IC design and manufacturing complexities continue to increase exponentially, it is becoming less practical for a single company to provide products and services without collaborated partners. The goal of this research is then to explore how foundries and design service providers collaborate with each other under the new business paradigm. By conducting field interviews and empirical study on six...
The concepts of a virtual fab (VF) and manufacturing service (MS) have been proposed over recent years as a way to face the fierce competition of the semiconductor industry. This paper proposes a way to build a VF with a flexible manufacturing service in a highly specialized and uncertain environment. The VF enabling framework contains manufacturing service, business process (BP), and infrastructure...
