Technology node forms the basis for developing different types of silicon products. Over the last decade, top semiconductor manufacturers have invested a lot of time and capital to bring new semiconductor
Photo by Maxence Pira on Unsplash The semiconductor ecosystem comprises distributed end-to-end semiconductor processes. These processes cover a different aspects of silicon development. It ranges from the market requirement, then moves to design, validation and if all goes as planned, then eventually mass manufacturing. However, these steps are not guaranteed
Photo by Maxence Pira on Unsplash Adaptive, specialized, and the balance of power and performance have become a central point for designing different types of efficient processing units. To help with this vision, FPGAs have become an integral part. Mainly due to the features FPGA architecture provides. Currently, the market
Photo by Mathew Schwartz on Unsplash Data has become more relevant than ever for semiconductor product development. More so when the applications of silicon devices are increasing year after year and touching every aspect of day-to-day life. As the semiconductor data complexity increase This increase in the importance of semiconductor
Photo by Patrick Perkins on Unsplash The semiconductor market has always followed the seesaw mode. With a seesaw, there are time intervals when the market has high demand followed by low demand. This trend impacts the semiconductor in different possible ways, and one of them is the long-term product development
Photo by Farai Gandiya on Unsplash Semiconductor speed is dependent on performance characteristics. These characteristics define the operating states and how fast or slow the silicon-based system will operate. Over the last five decades, the semiconductor speed has only increased exponentially. Consider the example of the CPU core. Today, the
Photo by Christophe Hautier on Unsplash Semiconductor manufacturing relies heavily on the semiconductor FAB and OSAT. Semiconductor FAB turns the design into fabricated wafers. On another side, OSATs convert fabricated wafers into finished goods. End customers to develop consumer and enterprise solutions using the finished goods. Semiconductor FAB and OSAT
Photo by CHUTTERSNAP on Unsplash The semiconductor supply chain ensures that the fabricated, assembled, and the tested product reaches customers on time. Achieving this goal requires eliminating all the bottlenecks that might impact the supply process. The standard process to mitigate bottlenecks is to capture the end-to-end supply chain requirements
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
Photo by Thomas Jensen on Unsplash Data centers are vital for modern-day computing and have also evolved based on the requirements of different types of computing. Today, there are different types of data centers. However, of all, hyperscale data centers are on the rise. Hyperscale data centers house several connected
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.
