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
Photo by Robert Ruggiero on Unsplash The development of new technology always leads to new types of data. Processing varying and vast amounts of data require computer architecture. These architectures balance the latency and throughput to ensure the user experience is not compromised. And to enhance the user experience, the
Photo by Harrison Broadbent on Unsplash Semiconductor companies not only design silicon devices but also (directly and indirectly) power different types of embedded systems. These systems (smart devices, laptops, servers, etc.) cater to consumer and enterprise electronics. And to validate new ideas or prototypes, embedded systems play a crucial role.
Photo by Dan Cristian Pădureț on Unsplash The semiconductor industry is all about value creation for the business dependent on it. This value is primarily due to Moore’s first law-driven semiconductor product that brought several generations of computing solutions. And, to ensure the value creation process continues forever, More-Than-Moore solutions
Photo by Andrew Gook on Unsplash The semiconductor market is highly volatile. Positive or negative demand significantly impacts the end-to-end supply chain. Avoiding scenarios requires equilibrium of supply and demand, which is difficult to achieve due to the several variables of the semiconductor supply system. Even with several variables like
Photo by Glen Carrie on Unsplash New silicon-powered products should have advanced features. These features also have to differentiate from the existing ones. Otherwise, the probability of success in the market will be very low. On the opposite side, the new semiconductor technology development is slowing down due to the
Photo by Luan Gjokaj on Unsplash Semiconductor products are struggling to meet the demand to balance power, performance, and area requirements. The challenge to enable efficiency is increasing while there is also a need to meet new technological requirements without adding bottlenecks. Such challenges are slowly becoming impossible tasks whereby
Photo by Brett Jordan on Unsplash The government of several countries has realized the need to establish a semiconductor ecosystem that can cater to computing needs for decades to come without relying on external factors. In doing so, several new policies and acts are getting approved with the sole purpose
Photo by Andrés Dallimonti on Unsplash Building blocks of semiconductor products are shrinking and providing more area to pack new features. It has enabled the industry with options that are eventually powering billions of devices around the globe. Such proliferation is positive news for the semiconductor industry and industries that
Photo by Robert V. Ruggiero on Unsplash Advanced manufacturing is one of the most important development and is pushing manufacturing (across industries) towards a new era. Several criteria decide whether a given manufacturing industry stands to call itself an advanced one. These criteria (not set) have been around for a
Hi, I am Chetan Arvind Patil (chay-tun – how to pronounce), a semiconductor professional whose job is turning data into products for the semiconductor industry that powers billions of devices around the world. And while I like what I do, I also enjoy biking, working on few ideas, apart from writing, and talking about interesting developments in hardware, software, semiconductor and technology.
