SiC CoSim+, SiC Manufacturing Cost Simulation Tool published by Yole Developpement in November, 2009. This report price starts from US $ 9990.
Abstract
A powerful tool designed for the power electronics community
With SiC devices providing mission critical functionality in more
applications, the need for comprehensive cost simulation is paramount. Due to
their specific manufacturing process (High Tº epitaxy, passivation,
oxide, contacts...) the cost of SiC devices can be difficult to estimate.
Components such as Schottky diodes, MOSFET, BJT or J-FET involve very
different process steps.
This is why a specific and very flexible tool is required for their cost
estimation. Yole Developpement, leader in the analysis of SiC applications and
markets, and System Plus Consulting, leader in cost analysis of electronic
products have joined forces to provide this unique SiC Cost Simulation Tool.
The multiple benefits of SiC Cosim+
The functions of SiC CoSim+:
- Possibility to run the cost simulation for a variety of different
conditions (region, clean room class, process type, etc)
- Integrated Equipment, Wafer & Materials Database
- Very high flexibility :
- SiC CoSim+ allows the user to enter any SiC process flow
- The manufacturing process flows are created dynamically in a friendly
hierarchical view where each process step can be moved, modified or deleted.
- The user can save an unlimited number of process flows, equipment types
and materials
- A project manager function offers the possibility to save all the user
created data and scenarios (Wafer Fab unit, process flow, yields...) and to
reuse them later.
- Two calculation modes: for dedicated fabs and non-dedicated fabs.
- Simulation of up to five simultaneous scenarios allowing the user to run
sensitivity analysis and compare results like yield improvement, manufacturing
location impact on cost, etc.
- SiC CoSim+ uses an ExcelTM interface for maximum usability. This tool will
enable you to evaluate the cost per wafer for manufacturing using your own
inputs or using the pre-defined parameters included with the tool.
The use of SiC Cosim+:
- Estimation of the SiC device margin
- Understanding of the cost structure
- Competitive analysis
- Cost evaluation for different technology options
- Identification of the cost pain points in your process
- Definition of a business model (fabless, fablight, manufacturing ...)
Example of results
- Compare up to 5 different scenarios
- Cost of the wafer with breakdown (depreciation cost, manufacturing cost,
labor cost, yield losses)
- Cost of the wafer by step (Epitaxy, Implantation, etching,
metallization...)
- Equipment cost of the wafer by step
- Equipment cost of the wafer by equipment family (etching, deposition,
lithography, implant...)
- Material cost of the wafer by step (wet chemicals, gases; sputter targets
...)
- Material cost of the wafer by material family
- Cost of the die with breakdown between wafer, test, dicing
- Cost of the component with breakdown for die cost, packaging cost, final
test cost, yield losses
- Estimation of the manufacturing price of the component according to
published manufacturer financial results
who should buy SiC Cosim+
- This tool is ideal for strategic marketing executives, process managers
and R&D engineers analyzing the economic feasibility of different SiC
manufacturing approaches.
- SiC equipment suppliers can use SiC CoSim+ to know the operating cost of
their equipment and can compare with their competitors.
- It is also of great help for purchasing managers who want to understand
their supplier' s costs.
