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
Photo by Chris Liverani on Unsplash Automotive has always been an integral part of day-to-day life. Worldwide, billions of people drive vehicles, and the goal is the same: reaching the next destination safely and on time. Achieving this goal is only possible due to the different features and components that come together to
Photo by Taylor Hammersla on Unsplash Semiconductor capacity has been the most talked-about topic due to the semiconductor shortage. Companies and countries are upgrading or building semiconductor manufacturing to cater to ever-increasing demand. However, simply increasing the semiconductor capacity is not the answer and often comes with several techniques to
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.
