mid-1980s, the semiconductor industry was in a crisis. Chipmakers were looking for ways to break the magical one-micron barrier. Many thought X-ray lithography would be required to break the barrier, but as it turned out, traditional optical technology did the trick. And the industry marched on. Then, in 2000 or so, the IC industry was nearing the so-called “red brick wall,” which... <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140628165643/http://semiengineering.com/will-ic-industry-hit-red-brick-wall/">» 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/20140628165643/http://semiengineering.com/is-450mm-dead-in-the-water/" title="Is 450mm Dead In The Water?">Is 450mm Dead In The Water?</a></h2> <div class="loop_post_meta"> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140628165643/http://semiengineering.com/author/mark-lapedus/">Mark LaPedus</a> - 15 May, 2014 - Comments: 3 - <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140628165643/http://semiengineering.com/category/blogs-md/" title="View all posts in Blogs - MD">Blogs - MD</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140628165643/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/20140628165643/http://semiengineering.com/category/blogs-md/on-the-mark/" title="View all posts in On The Mark">On The Mark</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/is-450mm-dead-in-the-water/" addthis:title="Is 450mm Dead In The Water?"></a> </div> </div> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/is-450mm-dead-in-the-water/" addthis:title="Is 450mm Dead In The Water?"> <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/is-450mm-dead-in-the-water/" addthis:title="Is 450mm Dead In The Water?"></a> <a class="addthis_button_linkedin" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/is-450mm-dead-in-the-water/" addthis:title="Is 450mm Dead In The Water?"></a> <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/is-450mm-dead-in-the-water/" addthis:title="Is 450mm Dead In The Water?"></a> <a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/is-450mm-dead-in-the-water/" addthis:title="Is 450mm Dead In The Water?"></a> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> At one time, Intel, TSMC and 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.
