In this report we identify areas of semiconductor-related technologies where a small or mid-sized company can compete.

These high-tech applications segmented as those are fabricated on 300mm wafers and those built on non-300mm wafers.

The small business even with their limited resources can better serve these market segments by offering customized offerings, because the products of the big business will often be too generic to suit the needs of a niche market audience.
