I want to manufacture TRIAC in my country and need guideline on this. Appreciate if anyone can help me out on this.
And you felt that a forum for users of Keil development tools would be a good place for help setting up a factory for producing semiconductors? And you also think that one sentence describing your goals is enough information? How much documentation do you think it takes to get the factory going? And to verify and document the production process? And to verify the component?
Thanks buddy for replying though I feel embarrass but I am trying to explore all the avenues. I just started inquiring and I am not even a engineer.
What made you think this would be an appropriate place to enquire?
Do you have any idea at all about semiconductor manufacturing?
Do you have any experience with any kind of manufacturing?
Actually when I went for Google search the site popped up. As already told I am not an engineer and not aware of the manufacturing process but have enough investment to set up the buinsess.
You do realise that Google is simply a Text search, don't you?! It is entirely up to you to verify that a text match is actually appropriate to your context!
Before posting on any internet forum, you should always check that your post is appropriate to that forum!
"I am not an engineer and not aware of the manufacturing process but have enough investment to set up the buinsess."
How can you be sure that it's enough investment if you know nothing about the business??!
The first step in any venture like this is, obviously, to hire people who do know the business!!
Everyone knows how microcomputers are becoming quite popular.
Well did you know that the microcomputers have got chips containing millions of transistors.
You look around and see that there aren't many places making transistors to go into these chips.
Production of chips is being held up because of a shortage of transistors.
My scheme is to build a plant that makes transistors that are put into these chips.
Who wants to put muney into this fine scheme?
Cracking scheme!
:-)
Oh, yeah.
There must be consultants who can help.
But I can't see the meaning of a factory just for producing a Triac. Unless it has very special behaviour (in which case you have a researcher from a university who have a lot of contacts or knowledge from the development stage of this new wonderful Triac) it will just be a standard component that will have to fight will all other standard components on the market. And the buyers will then look for a manufacturer who are known on the market and who they trust to supply large quantities of well-tested devices.
Even if using tiny 4" or 6" wafers, you will get a lot of Triacs on a wafer - and a very small factory can produce a lot of wafers. More wafters and more Triacs than you will be able to find a market for unless you manage to get a significant part of the market. Or unless your components are so special that you can sell a few of them for a very significant amount of money.
Someone asked me to manufacture TRIAC as he is importing from China. The demand is so high the challenge is to produce at a lower cost in my country.
What country?
Pakistan
just for fun, I did a google search on "semiconductor wafer processing" and since TRIACs are not a nanometer device, i took a look at used equipment since there must be a lot of that floating around now that everybody is going for smaller geometries. one i found was www.bidservice.com/.../NF_category_SEMI.asp

and that's just start of it!
Then you've got to make the leadframe, separate the individual devices from the wafer, mount them onto the leadframe, package them, etc, etc,...
It's getting better. I am learning a lot. Thanks everyone for your contribution.
