Cost calculation for
integrated circuits (ICs)

Cost calculation for integrated circuits - well-founded and comprehensible
The manufacturing costs of integrated circuits (ICs) are complex, capital-intensive and difficult to understand. Our latest white paper offers you a complete IC cost estimate based on a bottom-up cost calculation for semiconductors - practical, data-based and perfectly suited for industrial use.
Quality and reliability for top companies
