These methods are not drastically different than what the semiconductor industry developed in the last few decades. Still, the product
Photo by Patrick Lindenberg on Unsplash THE REASONS TO ADOPT IN-MEMORY SEMICONDUCTOR PROCESSING Over the last decades, both industry and academia have spent numerous hours to enable different types of semiconductor design and manufacturing methodology to drive next-gen processing units. These processing units today power the computing world and often
Photo by Suganth on Unsplash THE COMPLEXITY OF SINGLE-TECHNOLOGY-NODE ARCHITECTURE To ensure high-speed processing, one active component in a computer system – the Central Processing Unit (CPU) – has seen numerous technological advancements. The CPU advancements have been distributed equally on the design and the manufacturing aspect of the semiconductor
Photo by Louis Reed on Unsplash THE NEED FOR SEMICONDUCTOR DEVELOPMENT BOARD Semiconductor wafers are fabricated and assembled to produce packaged semiconductor products before it gets shipped to customers. In the production, silicon product then gets mounted onto a system platform. However, before the production line can use a semiconductor
Photo by Jeremy Bezanger on Unsplash THE FEATURES DRIVING SEMICONDUCTOR COMPUTING The computing world is heavily reliant on semiconductor products. To implement target features, it is important to look into the low-level hardware characteristics. These characteristics over the years have become key driving factors and are not defining how future
Photo by Vishnu Mohanan on Unsplash THE REASONS TO ADOPT SEMICONDUCTOR COOPETITION The semiconductor design and manufacturing business are highly competitive. As semiconductor design and manufacturing companies compete to increase their market share, a flawless strategy is required. However, achieving perfection in the semiconductor business requires several different factors to
Photo by Lars Kienle on Unsplash THE REASONS TO BENCHMARK SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS Benchmarking a product is one of the most common evaluation processes, and from software to hardware, benchmarking is extensively used. In the semiconductor industry, benchmarking is mainly used to evaluate products against their predecessors and also competitors. CPU
Photo by JaromÃr Kavan on Unsplash THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF SEMICONDUCTOR LOGIC TECHNOLOGY MAP The transistor is one of the building blocks of the semiconductor industry. It has also gone through drastic transformation led by very high activity of research and development. These transformational changes, year on year, have empowered
Photo by Ryan Quintal on Unsplash THE REASONS TO USE SEMICONDUCTOR CHIPLETS FOR MANY-CORE ARCHITECTURES Computer architecture is a set of design steps that drives the manufacturing of innovative processing units, worldwide known as the processor. 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
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.
