Photo by ThisisEngineering RAEng on Unsplash THE FINITE SEMICONDUCTOR GAME The semiconductor industry consists of different players (companies) playing one of the two games: Finite Or Infinite. The technical and business planning laid out by any semiconductor company can enable classification of whether they are playing the long-term infinite game or sticking to a finite game. The reason for this classification is a consolidation of semiconductor companies. It is applicable for both the design and the manufacturing side of the semiconductor. However, comparatively semiconductor manufacturing has seen more players that get classified as finite or infinite players. Primarily reason is the vast investment required to drive the next-gen semiconductor manufacturing, something not all companies can do regularly. Finite Game: Played by semiconductor companies who have settled for a specific semiconductor technology […]
