Photo by Jeremy Thomas on Unsplash The technology roadmap for the semiconductor device level scaling is updated yearly. However, implementation demands several years of continuous effort. It is also why only a few semiconductor manufacturing firms can follow the technology scaling roadmap accurately. For semiconductor design and manufacturing companies to
Photo by Liam Briese on Unsplash In the last two years, the semiconductor manufacturing capacity has seen all the ups and downs it could have. From rising silicon demand to overflowing orders to capacity crunch to building new futurist capacity, all of these in a short period. In the end,
Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash More than 50% of the semiconductor FAB (fabrication) cost is due to equipment and tools. Any given FAB has hundred different types of these, and without the required tools and equipment, the FAB cannot work efficiently. One piece of equipment that drives the semiconductor
Photo by Lukas on Unsplash Processors are an integral part of any computing device. For the last few years, the importance of providing efficient and high-performance processors has only grown over the decade. It has thus shifted the design and manufacturing aspect of processing units, thus enabling the transition towards
Photo by Daniel Pantu on Unsplash The race to create computer architecture that mimics the human brain has led to the creation of neuromorphic architectures, and there is not a single computer architecture-focused semiconductor company that has not launched neuro-inspired silicon chips. However, creating a very large-scale neuromorphic XPU is
Photo by Emma Francis on Unsplash The semiconductor industry is going through one of the most exciting phases. Worldwide the demand for semiconductor-powered products is increasing and driving very high silicon demand that the semiconductor industry has never seen before. It has also re-ignited the debate to build more semiconductor
Photo by Jason Leung on Unsplash Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven by Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) has found its way into several industrial and consumer products. There is not a single high-tech solution that is not getting pitched as being AI-powered. AI also requires a silicon platform that
Photo by Skye Studios on Unsplash Industries and companies worldwide are focused on creating value, without which it is not possible to survive the customer-driven market. The semiconductor industry is no different and has consistently added value over the last four decades. The value created by the semiconductor industry has
Photo by Shahadat Rahman on Unsplash Semiconductor end-to-end product development is a highly complex process. The majority of these processes are also proprietary. Developing a proprietary process is vital as it allows companies to bring innovation and never-seen-before products and solutions, which in the long term drive market position and
Photo by Shubham Dhage on Unsplash The end-to-end semiconductor design and manufacturing are dependent on the ecosystem. It is evident from the regions that have become a pillar of the semiconductor industry. These regions have grown steadily for decades while creating business and employment opportunities. Developing a semiconductor ecosystem is
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.
