Innovation Drives Q2 Recovery in Foundry Revenue 
Pure Play Foundry H2 2009 Market Tracker 
Although demand for third-party manufacturing has not recovered to anywhere near 2008 levels, the unexpected increase in chip demand in Q2 2009 has provided foundry manufacturers with modest recovery in both factory run rates and revenue. More importantly, companies are now approaching the second half of the year with an optimistic view toward demand. Most people agree that the severe actions taken by companies starting in late Q3 2008, in response to weakening semiconductor demand, were succes
Key Issues
  • Where will fabless companies and IDMs find available capacity in the appropriate technology to meet their demands?
  • What mergers or acquisitions are taking place in the foundry market, and how will they affect the suppliers as well as foundry users?
  • What role will the Chinese foundries play in the market recovery in 2010 and beyond?
  • What are the strategies for the key second tier foundries, and how can a small fabless company choose the right partner?
  • Where should second tier foundries spend their CAPEX to maximize their investments? How long will this recovery last?
