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
Photo by Henry & Co. on Unsplash The semiconductor fabrication process is complex and costly, and it takes a lot of time to fabricate advanced solutions. Apart from the technical and business hurdles, the ability to develop one specific type of semiconductor device node is not resource-friendly. It also drives
Photo by Vishnu Mohanan on Unsplash Several semiconductor industry-wide roadmaps are planned and released by semiconductor companies and also different technical semiconductor groups. These semiconductor roadmaps are vital in providing glimpses of future semiconductor technologies and how they will shape silicon products. Out of all the semiconductor roadmaps, the two
Photo by Louis Reed on Unsplash Chiplets are changing the way complex products like XPUs getting designed and manufactured. Its impact is how modular the new XPU solutions are becoming. This modularity is paving the way for new-age IP-driven XPU design and manufacturing and opening up features that were not
Photo by Anne Nygård on Unsplash The complexity of semiconductor devices is increasing at a rapid pace. The reason is the demand for new features, which requires novel design and manufacturing approaches, which come at a higher cost due to the time, resources, and investment needed to enable new semiconductor
Photo by Christopher Bill on Unsplash Advancements in package technology are as vital as advancements in technology nodes. These two semiconductor solutions enable silicon products to work per the required specifications. Technology node innovation has occurred more rapidly than package technology. Given that now the technology node is going to
Photo by Anne Nygård on Unsplash Data has become a vital commodity in today’s market. The same is valid for the semiconductor industry. More so when the cost to capture the semiconductor data is rising. The semiconductor data capturing is directly tied to the process level solution that demands high-cost
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.
