Abstract

This paper presents information gathered during a series of site visits conducted by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) staff between December 2001 and July 2002. A total of six companies were visited, including: Four Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs); One Photomask Supplier; One Design Firm. The purpose of the site visits was to understand the impact of competitive and economic pressures on current IT practice in the semiconductor industry, to identify industry IT standardization needs, and to contribute this assessment as guidance for federal research investments and as input to industry roadmap efforts.
