Foundries play a crucial role in the semiconductor industry by providing:
Access to advanced manufacturing technologies: Foundries invest heavily in state-of-the-art equipment and processes, enabling them to produce smaller, more powerful, and energy-efficient semiconductors.
Manufacturing capacity: As demand for semiconductors grows, foundries offer additional production capacity to meet the needs of fabless companies without requiring them to build their own expensive fabrication facilities.
Flexibility and scalability: Foundries can quickly adapt to changes in customer demands by adjusting production volumes, facilitating faster time-to-market for new products.
