Photo by Jeremy Zero on Unsplash THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF SEMICONDUCTOR ROADMAP The semiconductor industry has enjoyed the success of doubling (every two years) the number of transistors in a silicon chip, which has allowed semiconductor companies worldwide, to offer novel semiconductor products and solutions. This is exactly what Moore’s
Photo by Marc PEZIN on Unsplash THE REASONS FOR SEMICONDUCTOR SHORTAGE In today’s market, the majority of the consumer and enterprise products are heavily equipped with semiconductor products (silicon chips). Over the last few years, the share of semiconductors in modern products has increased steadily. From automotive to smartphone to
Photo by Jorge Salvador on Unsplash THE COSTLY LIFE CYCLE OF SEMICONDUCTOR DATA The importance of data in different industries has only grown over the last few decades. This has in turn given rise to different new techniques and tools that enable enterprises to capture and analyze data on the
Photo by Stef Westheim on Unsplash THE ROLE PLAYED BY THE SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY In the world of computing, memory is a vital piece of silicon that can either make or break the computer system. It is nearly impossible to perform any computing task without the help of computer memory. Memory
Photo by Christian Wiediger on Unsplash THE IMPORTANCE OF PPA IN SEMICONDUCTOR Semiconductor products are designed and manufactured for different conditions with varying requirements. These conditions and requirements are often a combination of several technical criteria. One such important criteria are Power, Performance, And Area (PPA). In the end, the goal of
Photo by Patrik Kernstock on Unsplash THE ROLE OF OSFAB In the majority of the industry, outsourcing enables a way to operate efficiently. The efficiency is achieved both from a technical and business point of view. In the software industry, outsourcing is primarily focused on providing the right tools and
Photo by Kvistholt Photography on Unsplash THE IMPACT OF CLOUD IN SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY In the high-tech industry, software plays a crucial role. The ability to manage the task with a click of a button has a profound effect on different day-to-day activities. Software-driven digitization is also a key enabler in
Photo by Tanner Boriack on Unsplash THE IMPORTANCE OF PILLARS IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY There are numerous industries worldwide catering to different markets. Company from a specific industry will rarely provide all end-to-end in-house solutions to develop products. Almost all of the companies within a given industry rely heavily on
Photo by Mathew Schwartz on Unsplash THE IMPACT OF SEMICONDUCTOR ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS Delivering high-grade products is the ultimate goal of every manufacturer. To do so, different industry-specific standards and processes are used. The same applies to the semiconductor manufacturing industry. In semiconductors, as the technology-node shrinks, the cost to
Photo by Carlos Irineu da Costa on Unsplash THE IMPORTANCE OF SEMICONDUCTOR FET Cells are the building blocks of life. Similarly, transistors are the building blocks of the semiconductor industry. In the computing world, transistors lay the foundation for any type of processing solution. Transistor performs the basic function of
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.
