1·Semiconductor intellectual property generally refers to Fabip, also known as Fab intellectual property
2·It comes from the fact that Fab is an integrated circuit (integrated circuit, called integrated circuit in Hong Kong and Taiwan) At the source of the manufacturing industry chain, Fab focuses on the production and manufacturing of wafers, while Fabless focuses on the design of Chips. This is the division of labor. The Pattern Design designed by Fabless is tape-outed at Fab. Fab lays out the core circuit designed by Fabless on the wafer, and Fabless delivers the wafer to the assembly manufacturer for slicing, packaging and testing to obtain the final chip.
3·In the semiconductor field:
Fab generally refers to manufacturing companies in integrated circuit-related fields;
Fab=Wafer Fabrication integrated circuit manufacturing factory;
p>
Fabless=IC Design House chip design company;
Assembly originally belongs to the category of chip assembly testing (Assembly & Testing), but with the application of high-end chip packaging methods, especially wafer With the advent of level-level packaging (WLCSP), the boundary between Assembly and Fab has gradually become smaller and smaller.
4·IP refers to intellectual property, the abbreviation of intellectual property;
Whether it is Fab, Fabless, or Assembly, it must have its own intellectual property (IP), otherwise any commercial activities All will infringe other people's patent rights. Therefore, semiconductor intellectual property rights generally refer to Fabip in the semiconductor field, which is the abbreviation of Fab intellectual property.
