Research Summary
Fabless IC design refers to a business model in the semiconductor industry where companies focus exclusively on the design and development of integrated circuits (ICs) without owning or operating manufacturing facilities. These companies create detailed blueprints for chips and rely on third-party semiconductor foundries to fabricate the physical ICs. The fabless model allows companies to concentrate on innovation, design, and market-specific customization while outsourcing production to specialized facilities that offer advanced manufacturing technologies. This approach is cost-effective and scalable, enabling fabless companies to quickly adapt to technological advancements and market demands. Fabless IC design has become a driving force in the semiconductor industry, contributing to the rapid evolution of electronics across sectors like consumer devices, automotive, and telecommunications.
