The Semiconductor Chips For Data Centers

Leave a Comment / BLOG, DATA, MANUFACTURING, SEMICONDUCTOR, TECHNOLOGY /

Photo by Taylor Vick on Unsplash THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF SEMICONDUCTOR CHIPS FOR DATA CENTERS The connected world is leading to real-time information exchange, and this is why consumers to enterprises expect the request to be processed in the fastest time possible. The devices used to send such requests can only process and store a certain amount of data. Anything beyond a threshold requires the use of data centers, and that also means transferring/receiving data over the air. The computing industry has relied on data centers since mainframe days. However, the importance of data centers has mainly grown due to the connected systems. These data centers have to run 24×7 and also have to cater to numerous requests simultaneously. To ensure a quick and real-time response from data centers, three […]

Photo by Maxence Pira on Unsplash THE IMPACT OF WAFER SIZE ON SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY The semiconductor industry is built on the platform laid by silicon wafers that form the base of fabricating different types of advanced semiconductor products. The silicon wafers have gone through an incremental change in size/diameter over the last half-century. The growing need for advanced semiconductor products is now raising another round of discussion to move beyond wafer size in use today, mainly as a factor to improve the production rate of new semiconductor FABs and OSATs. The semiconductor manufacturing facilities around the globe are categorized based on the wafer size they can handle. The majority of the FABs and OSATs today are focused on 200 mm (7.9/8 inch) wafers with a few focusing on 300 mm

Photo by Jason Leung on Unsplash THE REASONS TO DEVELOP CUSTOM SEMICONDUCTOR CHIP IN-HOUSE As technology is progressing and touching every aspect of day-to-day life, the dependence on semiconductor solutions is also growing. These solutions are often made by semiconductor companies and can power several things from sensors to a smartphone to cars to satellites to name a few. One of the most critical infrastructures that the semiconductor industry powers are data centers and portable computing systems. These two systems are interconnected as one cannot do without the other. Today, majority of the request a smartphone users sends ends up in one of the numerous data centers around the world. The data centers then quickly crunch the request and send it back to the requesting user. As the customer base and internet users

The More-Than-Moore Semiconductor Roadmap

Leave a Comment / BLOG, MANUFACTURING, SEMICONDUCTOR, TECHNOLOGY, TECHNOLOGY-NODE /

Photo by Jeremy Zero on Unsplash THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF SEMICONDUCTOR ROADMAP The semiconductor industry has enjoyed the success of doubling (every two years) the number of transistors in a silicon chip, which has allowed semiconductor companies worldwide, to offer novel semiconductor products and solutions. This is exactly what Moore’s law predicted when it was proposed around four decades ago. Increasing transistor density per given area allows computer systems to cater to multiple (and numerous too) requests at the same time. This is why in 2021 a smartphone is capable of crunching the data that in the 1980s would require a giant server. However, as the semiconductor world marches towards 3nm mass production (with 2nm already showcased by IBM), there is a growing concern about whether or not Moore’s law will keep pace

The Reasons And Mitigation Plan For Semiconductor Shortage

Leave a Comment / BLOG, MANUFACTURING, OPINION, SEMICONDUCTOR, TECHNOLOGY /

Photo by Marc PEZIN on Unsplash THE REASONS FOR SEMICONDUCTOR SHORTAGE In today’s market, the majority of the consumer and enterprise products are heavily equipped with semiconductor products (silicon chips). Over the last few years, the share of semiconductors in modern products has increased steadily. From automotive to smartphone to smart devices to aerospace, everywhere semiconductors are present. This has made semiconductors the building blocks of modern infrastructure. These semiconductor products (silicon chips) require a lot of precision and time to manufacture. Any gaps in the manufacturing flow can eventually have negative consequences, which not only has an impact on the semiconductor manufacturers but also on the end products that are using these tiny silicon’s, and this is exactly what is happening since 2020. Semiconductor Shortage Is A Combination Of
