Project Proposal
Overview
With the rising demand for smartphone devices both locally and globally, t
he demand for smartphone chips has increased significantly over the past 10
years. Major smartphone makers like Samsung, Apple, Nokia, Oppo, LG, and Hu
awei have increased the demand for smartphone chips to meet the rising dema
nd for smartphones. Although there are giant companies in the smartphone ch
ip-making industry, the industry is still very lucrative.
Specific Objectives
This project aims to set up a 12-acres manufacturing plant in Silicon Valle
y, California. California is the selected location for this plant because i
t is a “tech hub” hosting famous technology companies like Apple, Facebook,
Chevron, and others. Silicon Valley is also selected because it has efficie
nt regulations, policies, and laws to protect trade secrets, business inter
ests, and ownership ideas. These regulations act as an essential shield for
small start-up tech companies. Another objective is to manufacture AI smart
phone chips with the highest processing speed, higher durability, and large
r storage space. The idea is to produce smartphone chips with at least 10bn
transistors, 5G-ready 7 nm (nanometer), and dual-core AI and APU accelerato
r. To execute this project, capital resources and human labor are required.
In addition, the funds will also be used in training the management staff o
n how to safely transport and store materials for the computer processors.
Potentially chemicals such as sulfuric and hydrochloric acid need to stay i
n isolation to keep them pure and avoid damaging other materials. Since the
firm will be shipping significantly dangerous substances, the workers will
be appropriately trained in packaging, loading, and handling chemicals. Add
itionally, keeping the containers well labeled and completing the paperwork
so that everyone along the supply chain will use the same care when handlin
g the containers. Since the cut silicon wafers and dies are susceptible to
damage from static energy while transporting these materials, the firm will
need to keep them from electrostatic discharge.
Materials like hafnium, palladium, and gold would need extra security in pr
otecting them from theft. Therefore, the secured containers and shipping co
nditions should be guarded to ensure they arrive. The materials will also n
eed to be stored in explosion-proof or redundant containers to protect the
m. This will also be used in the transportation of bulk liquid chemicals. W
ith the substantial amounts needed to meet the demands of the growing marke
t for computers and other electronic devices, the already built chips and o
ther devices will be secured highly to avoid chances of damage occurring.
Since chip plants run 24hrs a day and seven days a week, therefore in build
ing an entry-level firm, the industry’s brutal economics will be considered
in the mass production of the market computer processing chips, which will
exceed the current level build more on the existing knowledge.
Project Duration
The microchip manufacturing process includes a hundred steps and can take u
p to 12 months, from design to mass production. This project will take 2 ye
ars, starting on February 20, 2022, and completed on February 19, 2024.
Required Resources
To execute this project, capital resources and human labor are required. A
budget of $12,500,000 will be required for this project. This budget will b
e used for the acquisition of land, human resources, licenses, equipment, a
nd machines. To facilitate the effective operation of this facility, 80 emp
loyees will be recruited and trained. Cloud computing infrastructure, senso
rs, robots, and metals, including copper, tungsten, manganese, lithium, and
cobalt, are the main resources required. The estimated price for the const
ruction of the chip foundry plant will be $9M. This includes establishing c
rucial sections such as Cleanroom- where fabrications take place and contai
n the machinery for the integrated circuit production such as scanners or s
canners for photolithography, etching, cleaning dicing, and doping machine
s. These machines are exact; however, they cost a fortune, ranging from $10
0,000 to $300000.
Building a Factory for Manufacturing AI Smartphone Chips in Silicon Valley,
California
Objectives
To set up a 12-acres AI smartphone chips manufacturing plant in Silicon Valley,
California. The primary objective of the project is to manufacture AI smartphone
chips with the highest processing speed, higher durability, and larger storage space.
The idea is to produce smartphone chips with at least 10bn transistors, 5G-ready 7 nm
(nanometer), and dual-core AI and APU accelerator. To execute this project, capital
resources and human labor are required. The project is divided in phases to make the
process more realistic and achievable.
Phase 1
1. Develop a well-defined business plan that included all the expected expenses
and returns based on the market research analysis already conducted.
2. Get funding for the business based on the business plan and the availability.
3. Finding a long term land lease and building the FAB (FABRICATION).
4. Ensure a stable power supply and sufficient water/gas resources.
Phase 2
1. Hire semiconductor/equipment engineers and operators.
2. Purchasing the required equipment or machines for chip manufacturing.
3. Design the factory monitoring system to control the related equipment of
various systems of the factory, such as motors, pumps, valves, detectors, and
sensors.
4. Set up a supply chain strategy and transport system both for acquiring stock
and delivering manufactured products to the customers.
Phase 3
1. Use the machines’ purchased in Phase 2, process the silicon wafer to 7nm
chips by using advanced processes.
2. Use the resources acquired in the second phase (machinery and manufacturing
equipment and professionals hired) to produce the end products (AI
smartphone chips).
3. Develop a brand by identifying the type of AI smartphone chips to focus the
production on.
Phase 4
1. Develop an advanced packaging technique (e.g. SOIC) to ensure wafers are
safely delivered to the test factory.
2. Introduce products to the market.
3. Develop a strategic promotion and marketing plan.
4. Put up a well-developed delivery plan and hire marketing, sales and delivery
teams.
Critical Success Factors
1. Ensure that the equipment operates 24 hours a day.
2. Making schedules for engineers and operators and making sure that it is
strictly followed.
3. Acquire all the funding needed before the offset of the project.
4. Obtain the necessary licensure in time before the business starts.
5. Get the business up and running in the first 2 years.
6. Start focusing on brand development in the first six months of operation.
7. Initiate a strong training culture that enhances professional development of
employees.
8. Realize profits within the first few periods of operation.
Assumptions
1. To obtain 12 acres of land in Silicon Valley suburbs for constructing the plant
is possible.
2. The planned production capacity of the factory is 1,000 wafers per month, but
with the stable power supply and sufficient water/gas resources, it may be
increased to 2,000 wafers.
3. The smartphone chipset is competitive, however the demand greatly exceeds
supply according to business forecasts for 10 years.
4. Business laws in California permits AI smartphone chip manufacturing
businesses.
5. The prices of production are lower than the prices customers are willing to pay
for the AI smartphone Chips.
