Spurred mainly by IoT and mobile applications, 200mm fabs make a return, signaling a new hope of growth for the industry. Some say that 200mm fabs are what 450mm once promised. 200mm fabs are striking back with new fabs being built and capacities expected at levels seen back in 2006. This presentation gives a glimpse into the past, present and resurgence of 200mm fabs. The data are derived from a soon to be release update of the SEMI Global 200mm Fab report that provides insights to fab activities and capacity trends through 2020.
