Introduction / New IDM Service Business Model
The complexities of deep sub-100nm process technology and compressed time-to-market schedules require that companies developing new ASICs, System-on-Chip (SoC), and Application Specific Standard Products (ASSPs) must work very closely with their foundry and fab partners to guarantee their success in the market.
To meet these customer requirements, Fujitsu has developed an Integrated Device Manufacturing (IDM) service business model. IDM is designed to provide specific services – ranging from flexible design methodologies to a comprehensive set of IPs – as part of development alliances tailored to specific customer needs.
The IDM service business model focuses on building strategic partnerships with customers. The flexible approach gives customers a choice of engaging with Fujitsu on a technology, design or application level.
An essential element of the IDM model is Fujitsu's new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Mie, Japan. The facility is now delivering 90nm, 300mm ICs. Fujitsu is making a multimillion-dollar investment in the new foundry, which builds on the company's semiconductor manufacturing expertise and experience. Fujitsu developed its 90nm process technology at its Akiruno Technology Center, which was the first fab to mass-produce ICs using high-yield 90nm technology.
The components of its new IDM service business model are impressive, including robust design methodologies and libraries; complex, differentiated IPs; support for Customer Owned Tooling (COT); and a full range of the most advanced packages available anywhere. Coupled with these components, the facility provides fabless IC companies and Fujitsu business partners with specific and differentiated benefits. (Figure 1)
