what is a fab in manufacturing
In manufacturing, a “fab” refers to a fabrication facility, typically associated with the semiconductor industry. It’s a specialized plant where various electronic components, such as integrated circuits (ICs), are produced. The term can also apply more broadly to any manufacturing facility that fabricates products using various processes, like machining, assembly, or even textile production.
In a semiconductor fab, processes like photolithography, etching, and doping are used to create the intricate structures on silicon wafers. Fabs are highly controlled environments, often requiring cleanroom standards to minimize contamination and ensure product quality.
