IC Knowledge - IC Cost Model

Introduction
The IC Knowledge - Discrete and Power Product Cost Model is designed to enable users to easily estimate manufacturing costs for most Discrete and Power Semiconductor Products. The cost model runs inside of Excel, the user makes selections from dropdown menus on worksheets covering wafer cost, die yield, packaging and test.

Who should buy this product
This product is designed to serve the needs of anyone interested in understanding the manufacturing costs of power IC and discrete products and who also wants detail on the wafer fabrication costs section.

Do you:

Purchase power ICs and or discretes and want to know what it really costs your supplier to make them?
Market power ICs and or discretes and want to know what your competitors products cost?
Market equipment and want to understand how equipment costs impact power IC and discrete costs?
Manage a power IC or discrete manufacturing operation and want to benchmark your company against others?
Follow semiconductor companies stocks and want to know what particular products cost them to make?
Develop new products and want to understand the cost impact of process decisions.
Work at a Fabless IC company and want to know what it costs your suppliers to make wafers for you?

If you answered yes to any of the question above, then this product is for you.
