10. Business Model
Create a profitable
business,
by optimal use of:
people supported by
processes,
generating services or
products,
which differentiate
from the competition.

11. Money
Sales
Profit
Loss Time
Development Introduction Growth Maturity Decline
Profitability
Investment followed by a profit.
Where profit is bigger than investment.

12. Process ≠ Paperstack !
But individual steps,
supporting the creation of a product.

13. Products = Semiconductors
Which end up in:
Memory, Bankcards, CPU, Car-ABS etc.

14. Key Differentiators
1. Functionality
2. Cost
3. Quality
4. Time-to-Market

15. Key Differentiators Example
ABS Module priority:
1. Quality
2. Functionality
3. Time-to-market
4. Cost

16. Money

C
Profit
A Time
Loss
The story of being too late:
Cost impact with a delay in time-to-market:
Bigger loss, followed by less ‘sales and profit’

17. Package differentiators
Number of connectors, package size, package
technology, end-product functionality.

18. Package
differentiator
Same function, but:
Different package
Means:
Different process
Different workflows
Different application

19. Processes,
Workflows and
Applications, are
not only different,
but they also
interact with each
other!

20. Processes,
Workflows and
Applications, are
not only different,
but they also
interact with each
other!

21. ...and with the other aspects

22. Processes Workflows Applications

23. Processes
Individual steps,
supporting the creation of an end-product.

24. Some Process Examples

25. Processes
Building a skyscraper
Design by architect
Bill of materials
Assemble the building

26. Building: key differentiators
Take care of the cost,
functionality, quality and
time-to-market.
Is it a nomad shelter,
your villa, or an office
building to host 1000
employees?
Influences the processes

27. Building: key differentiators
Take care of the cost,
functionality, quality and
time-to-market.
Is it a nomad shelter,
your villa, or an office
building to host 1000
employees?
Influences the processes

28. Processes
Baking a pizza
Select the pizza you
want: menu or
cooking book
Collect the ingredients
Assemble the pizza
and bake it!

29. Pizza: key differentiators

30. Pizza: key differentiators
Take care of the cost,
functionality, quality and
time to market.
Is it going to be a
‘freezer’, take-away, or
top of the shelf
Roman restaurant
pizza?

31. Pizza: key differentiators

34. Processes

Diffuse the circuit
Assemble and test the
end-product

35. Key Differentiators Example
ABS Module priority:
1. Quality
2. Functionality
3. Time-to-market
4. Cost

36. Commonality:
Buildings & Semiconductors
Efficiency: it is NOT
likely that a single person
or company can fulfill all
needed process steps by
itself!
It is all based on core
competences.

37. Collaborate
A person working on a
single process, needs to
know
the outputs of the
previous process
the inputs of the next
process
This will improve your
core competence

38. Processes Workflows Applications

39. Workflows
Connect the individual process steps.

40. Design Di usion Assembly/Test
Semiconductor Workflow
Connects the top-level processes.

41. Design Di usion Assembly/Test
Focus on Test
Test devices, and remove fail devices.

42. Test Quality
Inking
Standard Test Workflow
Build up by three processes.
Different workflows possible.

43. Design Di usion Assembly/Test
Edge Die
Ugly Die
PCM Die
Extended Workflow
Different processes influence each other.

44. Test Analysis
Quality Merge
Extended Test Workflow
Build up by four processes, merge results of
diffusion with assembly/test processes.

45. Design Di usion Assembly/Test
Focus on Test
Test time reduction, by parallel testing.

46. Test time reduction
Test several products at once
Reduces costly test time
For small products
For products with long test
time
Think of up to 87% cost
reduction with 8 products
parallel testing!

47. Test time
reduction
This needs special hardware,
to expand tester capacity.
And special software for
optimized path finding.
Remember the costs Key
Differentiator!
Invest to create a ‘bigger’
profit.

48. Application influence
One application for test
One application for merge
One application for test
time reduction
Why not one application
to support all !

49. Standard assembly flow
Grinding Dicing
In place for many years, used
for standard packages with Wire bond Die attach
pins.
Encapsulation Marking
Trim - Form
Final Test
and Singluation
Tape and Reel Packaging

50. Small package assembly flow
Grinding Dicing
In place for few years, used Wire bond Die attach
for packages with terminals.
Encapsulation of an Array
Instrip Test
of Dies
Quality Automatic Inspection
Marking Singulation
Marking Tape and Reel

51. Small package
Different packages
Basic package with pins
Followed by package

Different workflows, one result
Workflows for small packages depend on the
available equipment: cost and time-to-market

54. Island automation
One application for each problem !
Means high maintenance, no integration!

Asset light & differentiators:
Easy copy and paste of
applications of subcontractors
to subcontractors.
First product life cycle with
single die testing (time-to-
market!)
Second product life cycle with
acceleration hardware (cost!).

70. Collaboration is the key !
Design - diffusion -
assembly and test.
Subcontractors: at the
begin, the end, and in
between the value chain.
Define the efficient cores,
and let them collaborate,
towards a profitable
business.

80. Collaboration

The Beginning

81. “Collaboratism shows us the amazingly tight integration and collaboration between
design, test, and assembly engineers and processes in the semiconductor industry.
It’s a deep-dive into a world most of us would never see - making clear just how much
genius went into making the brains of devices we unthinkingly depend upon every day.”
—Brian Behlendorf, founder of the Apache Software Foundation
