Fab (wafer manufacturing) refers to companies that own wafer manufacturing lines, responsible for turning chip designs into physical wafers, a capital-intensive segment where a single 12-inch production line often requires billions of dollars of investment; Fabless refers to fabless design companies that only do chip design and outsource manufacturing to foundries; Foundry refers to the pure-play foundry model (such as TSMC); IDM refers to the integrated design-and-manufacture model (such as Silan).
