Cost Modeling

Value
IDC’s cost modeling specialists offer an invaluable advantage to semiconductor manufacturers by identifying opportunities for savings and performance acceleration in the earliest stages of facility design.

Services
IDC develops preliminary cost estimates at a conceptual level by using our version of the SEMATECH Facilities Cost Model. IDC developed the model for SEMATECH and is the only entity outside the SEMATECH membership with the right to use it. The data driving our cost model are not theoretical; they are derived from field testing and facility performance data.

Expertise
The cost model addresses:

Site development

Electrical systems

Structural/building shell

Instrumentation and controls systems

Architectural interiors

Life safety systems

Cleanroom

Process systems

Mechanical systems

Indirect costs
