“The fabless model has proven to
be very successful”, comments
Yole Développement
With more than 75 attendees at Successful Semiconductor Fabless 2013, Yole
Développement & Serma Technologies announce the 2014 edition.
The fabless model has existed in the
semiconductor sector for many years and has
proven to be very successful.
world, the business models evaluation: how we
could select the best one - which criteria we should
follow – when we should reevaluated them…
From April 10 - 12 in Paris, Yole Développement
and Serma Technologies gathered 75+ attendees
for Successful Semiconductor Fabless 2013 (SSF
2013), an event featuring fruitful discussions,
constructive debates and invaluable networking
times centered on the fabless model. SSF 2013
included key industrial speakers such as: Aptasic,
Amkor Technology, ASE, CEA-LETI, CSEM, Delta
Microelectronics, FEI Europe, GaN Systems, imec,
Mikrosens Elektronik, Nanium, Serma Technologies
and Yole Développement … Abstracts and bios

Yole Développement and Serma Technologies have
decided to build on 2013’s success and are already
looking forward to Successful Semiconductor
Fabless 2014.
Next year’s edition will take place in Paris, with a
focus on MEMS. Today, only a handful of foundries
can answer the MEMS fabless model’s latest demands.
But what about tomorrow?
“Today, the top 12 fabless semiconductor companies
own 80% of the market”, explains Christophe
Fitamant, Sales & Marketing Director at Yole
Développement. Due to their long-running, growing
success, we’ve seen the emergence of fabless
companies in other sectors, such as MEMS, Sensors,
and Power Electronics. “This shows that fabless
companies are essential to semiconductor industry
development as they are key technology drivers”,
says Pascal MATOSEVIC, Sales & Marketing Director
at Serma Technologies.
In fact, "going fabless" has become a strategic
choice. During SSF 2013, powerful discussions
set up and many topics have been developed: the
diversity of business models in the semiconductor
