Abstract
The foundry business model has created a paradigm shift in the semiconductor industry. The model not only accelerates the dis-integration trend in semiconductor industry, but also provides billions of foundry business benefits. In the next decade, the semiconductor foundry will play an even more important role in the semiconductor business because of the continuous raise of the core competition. The core competition indicates the development of customization technology, the advanced and flexible production technology, and the customer oriented service system. The key goal for the semiconductor foundry is to help customers efficiently achieve their new products time-to-market.Based on the system engineering perspective, this thesis aims to develop an integrated management method on the process of new customized technology development. The thesis utilizes the project management, the concurrent engineering, and the quality function deployment to construct a management model of the foundry business. The model plans to shorten the time, decrease the mistakes and lower the cost when the new technology process is adopted. A case study of a specific factory is exemplified to test and demonstrate the management model.
