The commercialization process in the semiconductor industry is more accurate to describe as a series of stages, each with its own set of activities and milestones. Here's a breakdown of the key stages and when they might be considered part of the "commercialization” process.
1. Research and Development (R&D)
2. Prototype development:often considered the start of the commercialization process, as it's where the feasibility of the technology is proven.
3. Design and Engineering
4. Verification and testing
5. Manufacturing process development:
6. Manufacturing ( pilot): This is where small batches of chips are produced to test the manufacturing process and refine it.
7. Mass production: this is where chips are produced in large quantities for the market. This is often considered the "official" start of commercialization, as the product is now available for sale.
8. Packaging and Testing: This involves protecting the chip and connecting it to other components.
9. Final testing: This ensures the packaged chip meets quality standards and is ready for use.
10. Distribution and Sales:Marketing and sales.
Therefore, the commercialization process can be considered to start at different stages in the product development process depending on the customer and in general commercialization starts when the customer gets involved which can either be early during prototype development or later in the process. LWLG is definitely deep into the commercialization process, somewhere in the last two stages.
