This report presents a comprehensive analysis of the customer-specific, MOS standard cell market. That is to say, products that are designed and manufactured for a specific customer, to meet a specific system-level requirement, using the standard cell design methodology. While this market suffered, as have most markets during the current industry slowdown, it will recover, even if at a slower pace than desired. Last year saw shipments for this market level out, gaining only 0.1% in worldwide revenue, which is a lot better than the decline of 36.3% in 2001, relative to 2000.
End-use consumption for products designed using these design approaches is examined in detail by major end-use, as well as by major second-level end-use application, such as networks, basestations, servers, medical, et cetera. Geographic consumption for each of the four major regions, The Americas, Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific is also explored, as are operating voltage, packaging and mixed-signal trends. The report further explores down to the functional level, i.e., major embedded functions, such as SRAM, MPU, DSP, PCI, analog, et cetera, that will be included within these designs. Further discussed is the use of the MOS standard cell design approach for the manufacture of Application-Specific Standard Products (ASSPs). Also included, a discussion of customer-specific, MOS standard cell suppliers, and the issues surrounding the reporting of these product's shipments.
