Lower capital investment: By outsourcing semiconductor manufacturing to foundries, IP owners can avoid the massive upfront investments required for building and equipping their own fabs.

Reduced risk: Semiconductor manufacturing is a highly complex and risky process. Foundries help mitigate these risks by providing expertise, facilities, and processes that ensure high-quality production.

Global reach: Foundries have global presence, allowing them to cater to the needs of companies worldwide while ensuring local support and supply chain management.
