The Need For Semiconductor Coopetition

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 come together. The competing process is one such factor. It is vital to focus on the process of competing because it can make or break the future of any given semiconductor company. A lack of focus on the capabilities can push the company towards a course of action that can negatively impact the market share and thus the revenue. Semiconductor companies often have a lot of overlapping business areas. Thus, solutions from one company might well be the driving factor […]

The Semiconductor Benchmarking Cycle

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 and GPU get benchmarked more often than any other type of silicon product, and the reason is the heavy dependence on day-to-day computing on these two types of processing units. Benchmarking: Capturing technical characteristics and comparing them against other reference products to showcase where the new product stands. Comparing one semiconductor product with another or old one is one of the reasons to benchmark. Benchmarking enables several key data points and makes the decision-making process easier for end customers. In many

The Logic Technology Map To Drive Semiconductor Manufacturing

Photo by Jaromír 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 the semiconductor industry in providing solutions that are 2x faster and occupy 2x less space. Optimization activities have not stopped, and now companies and academia are gearing up to target next-gen solutions that will drive the semiconductor solutions into the More-Than-Moore era. And, to drive next-gen transistors, different research entities (semiconductor FABs and FAB-LESS) must focus on a semiconductor logic technology map.  FAB/OSAT Map: Provides an overview of how semiconductor technology will progress within a given FAB and OSAT. Logic Technology Map: Provides

The Many-Core Architectures Driven By Semiconductor Chiplets

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 goal is always to process the data as fast as possible. To make the next-gen processor efficient than today’s, computer architects focus on improving the data movement. Improving data movement within a processor means enhancing the design of processing units. Processing units are widely known as central processing units or core. Semiconductor-powered cores (since modern computers always have more than one core) have transformed architectures and have gone through several changes over the last four decades. This means the end
