The New Semiconductor FAB Impact

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

Photo by Anne Nygård on Unsplash In the coming few years, several new semiconductor FABs will start production. Several of these were part of long-term semiconductor requirements. Few started construction based on the semiconductor shortages and the push to mitigate such a scenario in the future. These new FAB required years of planning and have invested billions of dollars. Thus, the impact of these semiconductor FABs on the semiconductor industry is going to be significant. One of the impacts is the generation of employment, which will bring a new workforce to the semiconductor industry. It will also benefit the economy in the long term. And, for FABs situated closer to universities, such development can also drive industry-academia collaboration, which has the potential to keep supplying skilled resources. Employment: New Employment […]

Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash The design and development of an AI Chip is not an easy process. More so when the cost is high while the use cases are limited. It thus makes the process of selecting requirements for an AI Chip a critical one. These requirements for AI Chip should be a balance of both software and hardware. On the software side, it is more about ensuring the correct set of tools and libraries are available to make the most of the underlying hardware architecture. From the hardware aspect, it is specifically about ensuring the semiconductor-driven processes used eventually can create the correct hardware for the specific application. Application: Application Requirements Should Drive The Design And Development Of AI Chip. Parallel: Parallel Computing Is The Core To

The Semiconductor AI-XPU Adoption Race

Leave a Comment / ARTIFICIAL-INTELLIGENCE, BLOG, MANUFACTURING, SEMICONDUCTOR, TECHNOLOGY /

Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash Lately, several AI-driven silicon chip solutions have showcased the benefits of utilizing the semiconductor chips designed and manufactured for the AI application. It is also evident based on the several new XPUs being AI-compatible, which is possible only by combining the best features of CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs. AI-XPU: Silicon Chips Are Designed By Incorporating The Best Computing (CPU And FPGA) And Memory (GPU And ASIC) Technologies And Are Specialized For AI. Incorporating the best of CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs has thus given rise to AI-XPUs, which have features that can accelerate the processing of AI algorithms by incorporating the right set of compute-to-memory level features. Several processor-focused companies have already shown the benefits of such design and have created an adoption

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

Photo by John Jemison on Unsplash Developing new consumer and enterprise technology requires a new type of semiconductor technology, ranging from design, raw materials, equipment, packaging, fabrication, manufacturing, and many more segments of semiconductors. These technologies developed are called semiconductor enabling technology. Enabling technology brings a new type of semiconductor solution. These solutions push new products with features that are more efficient than ever. Few examples of enabling technology: xFETs Silicon Interposers Next-Gen xUV Equipment Advanced Automated Tools High-Speed Memory Interfaces New Semiconductor Packaging Solution And The List Goes On. Semiconductor enabling technologies are not easier to develop and do require thorough research and development. Even then, the probability of bringing a new enabling technology is low. Thus, as the first step, semiconductor companies should find the pressing issues in
