Metrology-Related Costs in the U.S. Semiconductor Industry, 1990, 1996, and 2001,211 98-4 Planning Report

摘要

This study estimates the amount of metrology-related costs in the semiconductor211u001eindustry, including the industrys infrastructure, for 1990 and 1996 along with a 211u001eprojected range for 2001. It is the first study that determines the size of 211u001emetrology-related costs across all metrology-intensive segments of the 211u001esemiconductor industry, including the industrys infrastructure. Metrology-related 211u001ecosts in this study is the value of current period spending by the semiconductor 211u001eindustry to acquire what we designate as metrology capability.
