Integrated device manufacturer

Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000175

A company that designs, manufactures, and sells its own semiconductor devices under one corporate structure. This vertically integrated business model covers the entire production cycle, from initial chip architecture and logic design through wafer fabrication, assembly, testing, and marketing. The integrated device manufacturer (IDM) model contrasts with the fabless-foundry structure, where design and manufacturing are performed by separate specialized companies.
