BBEM Division Company Overview
The sky-high cost of equipment means tough decisions for semiconductor manufacturers. With fabs costing as much as $3B to build and equip, staying on the technology roadmap can strain finances. BBEM offers innovative financial products that ease the up-front capital cost and commercially manage equipment from fab acceptance to end of life. For individual tools or whole fabs, BBEM products ensure maximum cost efficiency at all stages of equipment life.
A Wealth of Experience
The BBEM management team has a combined experience of 200 man years in semiconductor equipment financing, manufacturing and selling. A unique blend of commercial and technological know-how means that BBEM understands industry needs and can quickly provide proposals tailored to optimize fab ROI.
Key Partnerships
BBEM has forged partnerships with key OEMs from the semiconductor equipment industry. OEMs are engaged at all stages in Asset Management to ensure that equipment value and performance are at a maximum, from initial procurement to disposition at end of life.
Enabling Technology Leadership
With lithography tool prices soon to exceed $40m, managing risk is vital. By financing high cost development or short–lived manufacturing tools, BBEM enables access to the newest equipment, and helps shift capital expenditure to operating expenses. Capital is freed to be used for other critical requirements, and crucial capital assets are maintained at optimum ROI for their entire lifetime.
