In the semiconductor industry, coopetition can take many forms, such as: Joint Ventures: Collaborate to develop a new product or technology. Alliance: Resources or expertise sharing to achieve a common goal. Open Source: Contribute to
Photo by Thufeil M on Unsplash Semiconductor Design for X (DFX) is a set of principles that can be applied to any product to improve its manufacturability, testability, reliability, and other critical technical aspects. With the ever-increasing complexity of semiconductor products, it has become crucial to ensure the DFX methodologies
Photo by Google DeepMind on Unsplash Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a hypothetical type of artificial intelligence that can understand or learn any intellectual task a human can. AGI is still a long way off, but if achieved, it could profoundly impact several technological areas, including the design of silicon
Photo by Trnava University on Unsplash Semiconductor engineering is a field that distinguishes basic and applied science. On the one hand, it relies on a deep understanding of fundamental physics, such as the behavior of electrons in solids. On the other hand, it also requires the ability to apply this
Photo by Bill Fairs on Unsplash Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing field revolutionizing many industries. However, AI highly depends on semiconductors, the electronic components that power computers and other devices. Semiconductors are essential for AI because they provide the processing power and memory needed to run AI algorithms.
Photo by Raphael GB on Unsplash The semiconductor manufacturing business model is changing from FATE to FAST. FATE stands for Fabrication, Assembly, and TEesting, while FAST covers full-flow, i.e., Fabrication, ASsembly, and Testing. In the FATE model, the fabrication of semiconductor chips is with one specific company, while a different
Photo by Dan Cristian Pădureț on Unsplash Computational lithography is a specialized field in the semiconductor manufacturing domain. It is used during lithography when advanced algorithmic models optimize the patterning and masking process. It is done by deforming the patterns to compensate for the physical and chemical effects naturally occurring
Photo by Maxence Pira on Unsplash The semiconductor industry continually faces challenges as it shrinks transistor sizes to increase performance. One promising solution to achieve this goal is the use of chiplets. Chiplet is small; independent silicon dies that can be interconnected to create a larger, more powerful chip –
Photo by Maxence Pira on Unsplash These latest trends in semiconductor manufacturing are significantly impacting the industry. These trends lead to faster, more powerful, and more efficient semiconductor chips. It drives demand for semiconductors in various applications, from smartphones and computers to cars and medical devices. Thus, it is critical
Photo by D koi on Unsplash Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving as a critical application enabler. However, the high computational requirements of AI algorithms pose a challenge for semiconductor design and manufacturing. It is where the AI chip stack comes into the picture and will undoubtedly change AI-focused hardware,
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.
