Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash THE CHANGING SEMICONDUCTOR BUSINESS MODEL The semiconductor product development requires many businesses (from materials to logistics) to work in harmony. The complex process of fabricating semiconductor devices has also given rise to the cost of development. To lower the expenditure and to survive the
Photo by Mika Baumeister on Unsplash THE GROWING NEED FOR HETEROGENEITY IN SEMICONDUCTOR The computing world today is all about processing data in real-time. Developers expect their code to compile in milliseconds. Consumers expect applications to respond with zero-delay. All of this requires a seamless communication of different computing components
Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash THE SEMICONDUCTOR AS A SERVICE The software industry has adapted to the demand of business and consumers by changing the licensing and product delivery model over the last three decades. The post-1990 saw standalone one-time fee-based software with no incremental feature updates except security-related and termed
Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash THE END-TO-END SEMICONDUCTOR CLUSTER ECOSYSTEM The semiconductor industry is vital for high-tech advancement. From smartphones to satellites, a small piece of silicon forms the base for millions to trillions of data points. It is why worldwide, the semiconductor industry is a Key Enabling Technology
Photo by İsmail Enes Ayhan on Unsplash THE NEED TO PROCESS DATA Internet usage is growing. Every new user generates a new type of data. The technology companies are always eager to process and understand new consumer behavior. It requires continuous research and development of both the software and the
Photo by Jason Leung on Unsplash THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY STATUS In 2020, the semiconductor industry has seen both negative and positive trends. The first half of 2020 showed mostly the negative trend driven by the COVID-19 restrictions, as it lead to slower semiconductor production and increased inventory due to decreasing sales. The second
Photo by Vishnu Mohanan on Unsplash THE GROWTH OF DATA IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING The growth of digitization has led to the generation of massive amounts of data on day to day basis. The data explosion has pushed several industries to adapt to data-driven analysis and decision-making processes. The same
Photo by Laurel and Michael Evans on Unsplash Industry 1.0 was all about the transfer of manufacturing from humans to machines. Industry 2.0 increased productivity by using technology-enabled information and faster transfer of goods. With Industry 3.0, computers took over machines and allowed efficient manufacturing compared to Industry 2.0. Today, we are in
Photo by PCBWay Developing an electronic product requires a lot of iteration. A hardware electronic device has to go through a detailed design process which is followed by numerous prototyping and evaluation. It is often a time-consuming and cost-intensive process. Not all the development processes happen in the house. The majority
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.
