Semiconductor

It seems that semiconductor industry will not be doing well in the year 2008, as forecasted. Any thoughts?

That is for 2007. Now is 2008. Moreover, the thread expired. Understand?Originally posted by FireIce: -
I don't know much about Semiconductor industries.

anyone?

Semi-conductor is a very big field. There are many many products... Which area are you referring to?

Wafer fab? fabricating chips?Originally posted by eagle:Semi-conductor is a very big field. There are many many products... Which area are you referring to? -
Wafer fab also has a lot of productsOriginally posted by The return:Wafer fab?
IC Chips
RAM
Flash Technology

we cant compete with china.

the market and demand is different for each product.Originally posted by The return:any la..
Demand for one of them going down doesn't mean demand for another product is down. It all depends on the direction, diversification and goals of the company.
For example, no matter how well or bad the economy is doing, whenever you buy a computer, you will need to buy RAM. Whenever you buy a handphone, there is an embedded IC chip. Whenever you need to store things on a thumbdrive, there is always flash technology.
Almost every industry will require some sort of semiconductor products nowadays. It is almost like one of the pillars of any industry. How many companies can survive without a computer? -
but prices for all these as compared to a few years ago is dirt cheap nowOriginally posted by eagle:the market and demand is different for each product.

how much does a 4 gb thumbdrive cost now ?
u can get a laptop with less than $1k
RAM are cheaper now
any1 could still rem how much they pay for their computers 10 years ago ?
semicon not as profitable as before...
but these does not mean it is not doing well lor

will tell u in 2009...

wah... ts still looking for job since last yr.....

In addition to that, as time goes on, the development cost per unit of RAM gets cheaper. (I understand how because I worked as an intern before in a semi-con company)Originally posted by I_love_my_toilet:but prices for all these as compared to a few years ago is dirt cheap now

The amount of cost cutting from the start to the maturity of the device can be quite substantial. New technology breakthroughs or designs will always be more expensive. -
huh? already found la.. I want to know more..Originally posted by venny:wah... ts still looking for job since last yr..... -
so wat u working as nw?
-
which company are u working now?
-
singapore signed contact with solar panel company. and yes.. one of the industry which requires semi conductors. but than the value they invest is around 6 mill if i'm not wrong
-
in semicond..
btw, for now, semicond company usually give out how much bonus (not including AWS)? heard last time, they give out quite a lot... now like very little?? -
