These processors follow the rules as defined by the computer architects and the end
Photo by Denny Müller on Unsplash THE IMPORTANCE OF SEMICONDUCTOR DATA INTEGRITY The semiconductor industry has been utilizing data to drive design and manufacturing for a very long time. The reason is the high cost and penalty of manufacturing a product without thoroughly reviewing the semiconductor data. The growing importance
Photo by ThisisEngineering RAEng on Unsplash THE FINITE SEMICONDUCTOR GAME The semiconductor industry consists of different players (companies) playing one of the two games: Finite Or Infinite. The technical and business planning laid out by any semiconductor company can enable classification of whether they are playing the long-term infinite game
Photo by Florian Olivo on Unsplash THE MAJOR BLOCKS OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR FOUNDRY ROADMAP RACE Semiconductor foundries across the globe are focused on providing solutions to retain existing customers and attract new customers. To achieve these two goals, semiconductor foundry companies have to keep innovating. Innovations are critical to ensure
Photo by L N on Unsplash THE KNOWN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING STRUGGLES The cost of semiconductor manufacturing is doubling every four years. The major driving factor for the rising cost is the product complexity due to the introduction of new technology-node and packaging technologies. Electrical testing also has played a role
Photo by Matt Duncan on Unsplash THE HURDLES FOR THE SHRINKING SEMICONDUCTOR ROADMAP Several roadmaps get initiated by different semiconductor companies and also semiconductor technical bodies. These roadmaps provided a path of where semiconductor technologies were, where it is today and where it will be tomorrow. In many cases, roadmaps
Photo by Brian Kostiuk on Unsplash THE REQUIREMENTS OF NEW SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The semiconductor industry is driving on top of the products that different companies introduce. These semiconductor products have to go through complex product development procedures to fulfill strict technical and business requirements. That makes the planning and
Photo by L N on Unsplash THE REASONS FOR SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING AUTOMATION Automation is part of all advanced manufacturing industries. As the computing world has progressed, the high-tech software-hardware interaction now allows manufacturers all over the world to make the most of automation techniques to accurately run their production line.
Photo by Barrett Ward on Unsplash THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF SEMICONDUCTOR SUPPLY CHAIN Supply Chain Management (SCM) is part of every manufacturing industry. It enables the movement and management of finished goods and all those components that drive the development of the final product. As the world became more connected,
Photo by Yogesh Phuyal on Unsplash THE IMPACT OF SEMICONDUCTOR FAT OUTSOURCING The process of developing a semiconductor product requires several business and technical components to work together. Depending upon the business model of the semiconductor company, these development activities (mainly design and manufacturing) can be insourced or outsourced. 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.
