• W319077440 abstract "ABSTRACT.This paper discusses major trends in scholarship about historical changes in firm organization in semiconductor industry, technological and commercial needs of semiconductor core industry, and complex issues of open source licensing in context of semiconductor cores. Thus, my aim in this paper is to examine commercial use of open source cores, incorporation of a GPL-licensed soft core, and development and distribution of open source cores.Keywords: legal protection, topography, semiconductor product, patent1. IntroductionScholarship about onset of vigorous patent adoption and enforcement in semiconductor industry, growth and structure of semiconductor industry, role of design trading in semiconductor industry organizational structures, and complexity of semiconductor chips has increased and consolidated, especially in recent years. The material gathered in this study provides a rich and diverse context for understanding application of open source licenses to semiconductor cores, licensing of semiconductor cores, and interpretation of GPL in context of semiconductor core licensing.2. The Legal Protection of Topographies of Semiconductor ProductsBarnett looks at patents' organizational effects1 in fabless semiconductor market. The semiconductor industry provides backbone for a broad set of information and communications technology industries. A semiconductor chip consists of an integrated circuit engraved on a silicon wafer using photolithographic technology. Advances in miniaturization technology have allowed memory, logic, and processing functions to be embedded on a single chip in order to implement a customized application.2 As Barnett puts it, the semiconductor market witnessed rapid growth of 'fabless' and other 'design-only' firms that operate under weakly integrated structures that are largely restricted to developing patent-protected 'chip designs,' which are marketed as intermediate inputs to strongly integrated entities that develop 'systems on a chip' for incorporation into fully assembled electronic devices.3Kumar maintains that semiconductor economics focuses on reducing cost per function (CPF) in spite of rising cost of silicon. System companies and semiconductor companies (IDMs) have made significant investments in design, development, and manufacturing of ICs. Standard ICs are generally developed, manufactured, and sold by semiconductor companies. Semiconductor sales have grown more rapidly than worldwide electronics sales and worldwide GDP.The findings referred to here suggest that semiconductor foundries have made enormous capital and resource investments to create leading edge wafer fabs with leading edge process technologies. Kumar claims that semiconductor technology improves functionality and lowers cost of cell-phones, MP3 players, and HDTVs, which has resulted in significant increases in sales. As semiconductor industry introduces new process techniques, equipment, wafer fab facilities, larger diameter wafers, cost of fabricating wafer continually goes up. The overall semiconductor industry growth rate is slowing.4Roin argues that, in finance, consumer products,5 software and semiconductors, development cycles are quick. The optimal patent length for semiconductors might be longer than for software.6 Asensio contends that rights on of semiconductor products protect diagram of various layers and elements making up an integrated circuit.7 Kur and Dreier claim that legal protection of semiconductor topography8 is an IP right granted at level of EU. The US semiconductor chip manufacturing industry has attempted to secure exclusive legal protection against unauthorized copying of layout of circuitry elements on various layers which compose a semiconductor computer chip - topographies - whose development requires considerable investment of human, technical and financial resources. …" @default.
