Key Considerations of Building Competitive Wafer Fabs

Over the past five decades, the semiconductor industry has grown significantly, reaching a global sales value of half a trillion dollars. This impressive growth is expected to continue, with projections indicating that the industry will double to $1 trillion by the end of this decade.

Analysts predict that over 100 new fabs will need to be built worldwide to meet the increasing demand. Building these advanced facilities within a relatively short timeframe, while ensuring sustainability and navigating complex geopolitical and supply chain challenges, will be an unprecedented achievement. In this presentation, Herbert Blaschitz, Executive VP of Advanced Technology Facilities at Exyte, explores the challenges and opportunities associated with planning, designing, and constructing these complex facilities.
