Photo by L N on Unsplash THE NEED OF ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTOR EQUIPMENT High-Tech manufacturing is not possible without the use of equipment. The equipment ensures that the product being manufactured is defect-free and also meets the quality requirement for the target market. The same fundamentals apply to the semiconductor industry,
Photo by Florian Olivo on Unsplash THE GROWTH OF HETEROGENEOUS INTEGRATION The computer architecture design to cater the personal computing to data center needs has seen many changes over the last four decades. Computer architects have pushed the boundaries of designing novel ways to process data, which has lead to
Photo by Adi Goldstein on Unsplash THE NEED FOR WAFER VIRTUALIZATION The use of virtualization techniques in the software and the hardware industry has enabled several technology developments. Virtualization provides developers the infrastructure to develop, test and deploy solutions catering both to the consumers and enterprises. The three major types
Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash THE CHANGING SEMICONDUCTOR BUSINESS MODEL The semiconductor product development requires many businesses (from materials to logistics) to work in harmony. The complex process of fabricating semiconductor devices has also given rise to the cost of development. To lower the expenditure and to survive the
Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash THE NEED FOR SEMICONDUCTOR POWERED XPU Every software application eventually has to get executed on a hardware system. Whether the software application is running on a smartphone or a data center, the data processing request has to get decoded (binary instructions) before the hardware
Photo by Vlad Tchompalov on Unsplash THE NEED FOR SEMICONDUCTORS IN AUTOMOTIVE The automotive industry is going through a significant transformation. Countries all over the world are pressing for greener and eco-friendly vehicles. Government policies are getting stricter and demand vehicular technologies that require smarter software and hardware. The de-facto
Photo by Mika Baumeister on Unsplash THE GROWING NEED FOR HETEROGENEITY IN SEMICONDUCTOR The computing world today is all about processing data in real-time. Developers expect their code to compile in milliseconds. Consumers expect applications to respond with zero-delay. All of this requires a seamless communication of different computing components
Photo by david latorre romero on Unsplash THE NEED FOR AI SEMICONDUCTOR CHIPS Multi-Core Processor (MCP) or Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) revolutionized the computing industry. MCP/CMP came up with advanced execution and parallelism techniques. Software took the opportunity provided by the multiple processors fused into the single System-On-A-Chip (SoC). MCP also
Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash THE SEMICONDUCTOR AS A SERVICE The software industry has adapted to the demand of business and consumers by changing the licensing and product delivery model over the last three decades. The post-1990 saw standalone one-time fee-based software with no incremental feature updates except security-related and termed
Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash THE END-TO-END SEMICONDUCTOR CLUSTER ECOSYSTEM The semiconductor industry is vital for high-tech advancement. From smartphones to satellites, a small piece of silicon forms the base for millions to trillions of data points. It is why worldwide, the semiconductor industry is a Key Enabling Technology
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.
