Samsung were aggressively beating the 450mm drum. Chipmakers wanted, if not demanded, 450mm pilot line fabs by 2016, with high-volume manufacturing 450mm plants slated by 2018. At least for those companies, 450mm made some sense. Moving to 450mm wafers would supposedly give chipmakers a 2.25x boost in wafer area and a 30% cost reduction over 300mm substrates.

At the time, the 300mm development efforts were in the hands of two groups—Sematech and a Japanese-led entity. The equipment industry was on the outside looking in. And as a result, the migration from 200mm to 300mm fabs was out of sync and a nightma... <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140620142506/http://semiengineering.com/consortium-mania-sweeps-450mm-landscape/">» read more</a> </div> <br/> <hr/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="loop_post_title_wrapper"> <h2 class="post_title_a"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140620142506/http://semiengineering.com/stakes-high/" title="The Stakes Are High">The Stakes Are High</a></h2> <div class="loop_post_meta"> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140620142506/http://semiengineering.com/author/joanne-itow/">Joanne Itow</a> - 20 Jun, 2013 - Comments: 0 - <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140620142506/http://semiengineering.com/category/blogs-md/" title="View all posts in Blogs - MD">Blogs - MD</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140620142506/http://semiengineering.com/category/manufacturing-design/" title="View all posts in Manufacturing and Design">Manufacturing and Design</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140620142506/http://semiengineering.com/category/blogs-md/semico-spin/" title="View all posts in Semico Spin">Semico Spin</a>, </div> </div> <div class="post_excerpt"> <div class="social_sharing"> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"> <a fb:like:layout="button_count" class="addthis_button_facebook_like" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/stakes-high/" addthis:title="The Stakes Are High"></a> </div> </div> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/stakes-high/" addthis:title="The Stakes Are High"> <a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a> </div> </div> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"> <a class="addthis_button_email" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/stakes-high/" addthis:title="The Stakes Are High"></a> <a class="addthis_button_linkedin" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/stakes-high/" addthis:title="The Stakes Are High"></a> <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/stakes-high/" addthis:title="The Stakes Are High"></a> <a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/stakes-high/" addthis:title="The Stakes Are High"></a> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> By Joanne Itow Whether you call it a transition or a transformation, evolutionary or revolutionary, the implementation of 450mm wafers is going to be disruptive.
