If the cost to process a wafer stays the same, but the wafer contains more devices, then the cost per device goes down. For processes that apply to the entire wafer at once — etch, deposition, cleaning, and so forth — the equation has mostly held. (K. Derbyshire, SemiEngin, July 31)</span></p><p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141018131910/http://www.semi.org/en/node/50856">The Macroeconomics of 450mm Wafers<br/></a></strong>SEMICON West 2014 in San Francisco was a great place to meet bloggers in the semiconductor industry to get updated on the status of 450mm diameter silicon wafers. On one side, there is a good news about the unprecedented level of collaboration taking place between the design and construction professionals through the G450C to deconstruct a semiconductor facility matter associated with 450mm adoption.  (A. Mulay, SEMI, July 31)</p><p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141018131910/http://semiengineering.com/what-happened-to-450mm/">What Happened to 450mm?</a></strong><br/>There was a time not very long ago — one process node, in fact — when the economic momentum of Moore’s Law seemed unstoppable with a combination of extreme ultraviolet lithography, larger wafer sizes and a variety of new materials. Shrinking feature sizes is still technically possible, but certainly not with the same promised economic benefits and, at least for the foreseeable future, not with 450mm wafers. (M. Lapedus/E. Sperling/K. Derbyshire; SemiEngin, July 17) </p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><em style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color:
