Chip Design, Research & Process Engineering

Own the engineering platforms that translate semiconductor research into manufacturable chips, spanning design software, fabrication equipment and process control. IBM's newly announced nanostack research collaboration with Siemens provides a company-specific catalyst for advanced chip architecture. Unlike a foundry-capacity basket, this portfolio emphasizes the intellectual property and engineering tools behind successive manufacturing transitions; research commercialization and semiconductor spending remain key risks.
