Semiconductor industry like other technology industry is facing challenges in drawing clear product roadmap and strategies for investing in next gen equipment’s. But the duration between new semiconductor products introduction to peak production output expected is getting shorter considering the rapid consumer/intelligent devices demand and the associated astronomical volume expected. The major levers that forms the basis of this analysis comes from the analysis of the eco system covering Semiconductor equipment companies, Semiconductor design and manufacturers comprising of fabless players and foundries. These levers track the underlying currents that forms the ebbs and flows of the semiconductor industry in this Whitepaper analysis of equipment longevity.
