Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA)

A factoryless company is a model of organizing a business in the electronic industry, in which a manufacturing company specializes only in the development and sale of microelectronics, but does not have its own production facilities, that is, it uses the services of OEM enterprises for production.

The Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA) attempts to achieve a more optimal balance between wafer demand and capacity. Its more than 350 corporate members represent fabless companies, integrated device manufacturers, foundry providers, packaging/assembly houses, electronic design automation companies, investment bankers, intellectual property providers and other companies.

The organization encourages the relationship between fabless companies and suppliers; facilitates business partnerships; creates awareness of the fabless business model; disseminates relevant data; and fosters standards and policies
