This company has only one CVD tool,and it can process 10 wafers per hour.The process engineers have determined that the CVD tool has an average utilization rate (i.e., “time running”) of 80%. A wafer costs $5,000 to manufacture, and a good microprocessor can be sold for $100. These semiconductor fabrication plants (“fabs”) operate 168 hours per week, and all good microprocessors produced can be sold.
