Beyond the fab

A fab is concrete, cleanroom and tools. A running fab is know-how, suppliers and skilled crews.

FabBeyond brings that second half — consulting, engineering support, industry connections and manpower — to semiconductor companies.

01 Industry challenges

Read the industry like a bin map.

At wafer sort, every failing die is binned by cause. These are the eight bins we see most in new fabs, OSAT and ATMP lines.

All eight, in depth

PassFail, by binSelected bin

02 The FabBeyond advantage

Strategy and engineering and talent.

Execution is an AND gate. All three inputs, or no output. Switch one off.

Output: high

The plan is right, problems are solved at root cause, and trained people hold the gain on every shift.

Fig. 03Interactive. A three-input AND gate: each switch is one of our practices.

03 Services

Seven ways we work with you.

Each one is marked by who delivers it: us, a qualified partner, or both.

04 How our consultants work

A loop that runs until the gain holds.

Practitioners on your floor, on every shift. Six steps, repeated, then handed to your team.

05 Sand to shipped chip

Every step of the line, staffed and supplied.

A chip is built in a fab, then assembled and tested. Our people, partners and suppliers serve both halves.
