This is more true for semiconductor companies that do not have any internal manufacturing capability and have to rely heavily on outsourcing. This has
Photo by Lenny Kuhne on Unsplash THE IMPACT OF SEMICONDUCTOR SHORTAGE ON AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY Automotive is one of the several industries that heavily rely on semiconductor products to provide different features. These features range from infotainment to sensors to wireless communication. Over the last few decades, the need to drive
Photo by Devin Spell on Unsplash THE IMPORTANCE OF OUTSOURCED SEMICONDUCTOR ASSEMBLY AND TEST Outsourcing is one of the several ways to optimize in-house business activities, and that is why the majority of the industry heavily takes advantage of outsourcing. In the long run, hiring an external vendor to outsource

The devices used to send such requests can
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
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
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
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
Photo by Jorge Salvador on Unsplash THE COSTLY LIFE CYCLE OF SEMICONDUCTOR DATA The importance of data in different industries has only grown over the last few decades. This has in turn given rise to different new techniques and tools that enable enterprises to capture and analyze data on the
Photo by Stef Westheim on Unsplash THE ROLE PLAYED BY THE SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY In the world of computing, memory is a vital piece of silicon that can either make or break the computer system. It is nearly impossible to perform any computing task without the help of computer memory. Memory
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.
