About Silicon Analysts
Silicon Analysts is a personal research project and independent educational resource. It is not affiliated with any company, employer, or commercial entity.
What This Project Is
This site provides free, interactive tools for semiconductor cost modeling and market analysis. It was built as a personal project to explore how chip manufacturing economics work — from wafer pricing and die yield to advanced packaging costs and supply chain dynamics.
The tools, data, and analysis published here are intended for educational and estimation purposes only. They are designed to help anyone — from students and hobbyists to engineers and analysts — build intuition about semiconductor economics.
What You Can Do Here
- Chip Price Calculator — estimate die cost, wafer pricing, yield, and packaging for any process node
- HBM Market Analysis — explore high-bandwidth memory pricing, market share, and supply dynamics
- Fab Explorer — browse global semiconductor fab locations, capacity, and node data
- Cost Bridge Chart — compare manufacturing costs across AI accelerators side-by-side
- Price/Performance Frontier — benchmark AI chips by TFLOPS per dollar
- Industry Analysis — in-depth articles on semiconductor trends, sourced from public filings and industry reports
