Semiconductor, LED, and MEMS fabs and foundries play a vital role in the industry. Over the years, there have been sizeable investments in the building of these complex front-end fabs. Also, there have been fabs that have invested in converting the fabs to accommodate larger wafer sizes changes as well as changes in technology nodes. Just recently, there has been news about fabs that have started to spend again in the area of capital equipment.

As more of these wafer fabs are built (or converted), information is needed to analyze the investment requirements, construction spending, semiconductor equipment spending, first silicon, geometries (technology nodes), volume production, and upgrades/expansion.

The SEMI databases deliver the latest fab trends and a complete analysis on semiconductor fabs and foundries worldwide and are ideal resources to empower your market research. Identify target customers and analyze both investment and technology trends with a comprehensive and dynamic range of information designed to help meet your market research needs faster and easier than ever.

The database includes front-end semiconductor fabs and foundries such as TSMC, UMC, GlobalFoundries, SMIC, Samsung, Intel, GlobalFoundries, Toshiba, Texas Instruments (TI), Infineon, and more…..

We also have several databases that tracks the front-end LED fabs such as Nichia, CREE, OSRAM, Bridgelux, Huga Optech, Samsung LED, Lumileds, Epistar, Formosa Epitaxy, and more….
