The Semiconductor Demand Drivers

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

Photo by Jeremy Bezanger on Unsplash The semiconductor industry in 2020 grew at the rate of ~11% and is on its way to almost doubling it to ~18% in 2021. This growth is mainly due to the increasing share of semiconductor products in day-to-day life. Several high-tech solutions are running on semiconductors, and year on year, the demand for such solutions is increasing. Demand drivers are the area that the semiconductor industry extensively serves. These demand drivers ensure that the solutions provided by different semiconductor companies end up getting utilized to drive high-tech products. These demand drives are also the building blocks of numerous high-tech industries, and the application area ranges from consumer to industry. Computing: Computing industry is by far the most semiconductor demand generating domain. From laptops to servers, […]

The Impact Of Incentivizing Semiconductor Manufacturing

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

Photo by Testalize.me on Unsplash Moore’s second law, or Rock’s law, states that the cost of a semiconductor manufacturing plant doubles every four years. It is in line with the increase in transistor density, which demands high-tech and advanced solutions which directly contribute to the cost of semiconductor manufacturing plant setup. As more countries around the globe gear up to attract new semiconductor manufacturing capacity, the investment component becomes the more crucial one and much more than the semiconductor technology itself. High investment involves risks, and to de-risk any future unknown issues, government support is often required. It is where incentives come into the picture and help push private players into building new FABs and OSATs. How much it costs to build a FAB/OSAT: MIN-FAB: ~$1 Billion+ MEGA-FAB: ~$4 Billion+

The Semiconductor Manufacturing Road Map For India

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

Photo by samarth shirke on Unsplash Countries all over the world are coming up with policies and incentives targeted towards semiconductor manufacturers. It is due to the dependence countries will have on semiconductors which are the backbone of the digital economy. In the same line, India has also come up with several incentives to foster the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. However, incentives only help to a certain extent and beyond which laser-focused road map driven planning is required. The road map also empowers the potential investors and enables them to diversify investment as part of the long-term strategy. When it comes to the semiconductor manufacturing road map, no one recipe fits all. India needs its India-specific road map for semiconductor manufacturing. India is already home to the majority of the top

Photo by Harrison Broadbent on Unsplash THE POSITIVES OF SEMICONDUCTOR POWERED FPGA Year on year, for decades, Moore’s law has inspired semiconductor designers and manufacturers to pack more devices in the same silicon area. It has thus provided the computing world with different types of semiconductor products to process the data as per the power-performance goals. One semiconductor product that has benefitted the most from Moore’s law is the XPU. XPU are of different types, and the widely known ones are CPU (Central Processing Units) and GPU (Graphical Processing Units). Apart from traditional XPUs, ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) have also enabled elegant computing solutions for decades. ASICs are also of different types, and the most advanced ASIC is the FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array). FPGA is not new to the
