Abstract
A drastic change in ASIC producers in the field of semiconductors occurred in 1980s, 1990s, and 2000psilas. We clarify how two technology innovations contributed to this drastic change in ASIC producers. These technology innovations seem to have played a complimentary role in the productive activity of ASIC. However, the first technology innovation led to the appearance of foundries, by separating ASIC design and manufacture. Moreover, the second technology innovation led to the expansion of fabless industries by reducing the scale and time of manufacturing.
