Three major business models are found in the semiconductor industry, namely, the integrated device manufacturer (IDM), fabless, and foundry models. IDMs design and manufacture integrated circuits (ICs), fabless companies focus only on IC design, and foundry companies are concerned only with IC manufacturing. The business model resulting when fabless and foundry companies form a strategic alliance...
Foundry, Design House, and IDM are 3 major roles in the semiconductor industry value chain. This study used patent analysis to explore the technology level for the different role playing of the semiconductor industry value chain for past nearly 30 years. The research team applied many crucial techniques on patent analysis, along with patent citation network analysis, to find out the evolution for...
