The overall operation of chip fabrication plants is the main subject of study at "The Center for Competitive Semiconductor Manufacturing" at the University of California, Berkeley. Variation among surveyed plants turns out to be large, and learning curves for new chip introductions are very different. This observation has led to a special study of the way manufacturers organize the hand-off from development to manufacturing.
