How To Pursue Equipment Standardization

Abstract

In proportion to required highly process technology, engineering modification with equipment has been heavily increased at relentless cost level. Due to equipment cost has increased substantially, semiconductor business has not been profitable anymore in Japan. Recovering to the healthy state again, every considerable efforts which will be reducing wastes should be performed by industry's common perception. Equipment standardization would be one of key resolution for reducing, capital investment as global base. This is sure to crack the obstacle for semiconductor industry in near future.
