Photo by ShareGrid on Unsplash Semiconductor testing is one of the most critical steps in ensuring that the product meets all the required specifications and quality standards. Thus semiconductor testing has also become a major driving factor for defect-free products. Every chip manufactured has to go through testing processes to
Photo by Denys Nevozhai on Unsplash Advanced semiconductor package technologies have always played a crucial role in transistor scaling. It is also the primary reason these two scaling methods complement each other to enable customers (and industry) with innovative solutions. Die and package level innovation have always provided the industry
Photo by Stefan Kunze on Unsplash The semiconductor industry is entering a new era where all high-tech solutions will demand new and advanced semiconductor product-driven solutions. These solutions range from wireless to automotive. In this massive market (upward of $2 Trillion), there will be a need to re-invent different segments
Photo by Testalize.me on Unsplash Semiconductor manufacturing cost is increasing year on year. The reasons are the high cost to develop new semiconductor manufacturing processes, which often requires constant up-gradation of facilities. As semiconductor manufacturers expand to new regions, the most critical piece will be the push for innovation. The
Photo by CHUTTERSNAP on Unsplash Logic devices (FETs) are the building blocks of semiconductor products. Today’s silicon chip can easily have billions of these logic devices. It is also in line with Moore’s law, and today’s semiconductor technology allows the possibility of packing more logic devices without impacting the total
Photo by Alex Motoc on Unsplash The computing industry relies on semiconductor products to enable faster processing. And, to drive real-time processing semiconductor industry has to keep innovating. This two-way hand-shake reliance has grown over the last decade (due to new software demand) and will only grow more in the
Photo by Jeremy Bezanger on Unsplash The semiconductor industry in 2020 grew at the rate of ~11% and is on its way to almost doubling it to ~18% in 2021. This growth is mainly due to the increasing share of semiconductor products in day-to-day life. Several high-tech solutions are running
Photo by Testalize.me on Unsplash Moore’s second law, or Rock’s law, states that the cost of a semiconductor manufacturing plant doubles every four years. It is in line with the increase in transistor density, which demands high-tech and advanced solutions which directly contribute to the cost of semiconductor manufacturing plant
Photo by samarth shirke on Unsplash Countries all over the world are coming up with policies and incentives targeted towards semiconductor manufacturers. It is due to the dependence countries will have on semiconductors which are the backbone of the digital economy. In the same line, India has also come up
Photo by Harrison Broadbent on Unsplash THE POSITIVES OF SEMICONDUCTOR POWERED FPGA Year on year, for decades, Moore’s law has inspired semiconductor designers and manufacturers to pack more devices in the same silicon area. It has thus provided the computing world with different types of semiconductor products to process the
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.
