Panel: how will the fabless model survive?

The fabless model was traditionally enabled through clean interfaces
o
th in technical and business terms - between foundries and fabless semiconductor companies. However, with advanced geometry and analog/mixed-signal process nodes, the technical challenges have been greatly magnified, so that successful semiconductor design requires intimate co-optimization of design and manufacturing, infringing upon those clean interfaces. The panel presents views to these challenges and specifically how companies are planning to address them
