On another side, OSATs convert fabricated wafers into finished goods. End customers to develop consumer and enterprise solutions using the finished goods. Semiconductor FAB and OSAT
Photo by CHUTTERSNAP on Unsplash The semiconductor supply chain ensures that the fabricated, assembled, and the tested product reaches customers on time. Achieving this goal requires eliminating all the bottlenecks that might impact the supply process. The standard process to mitigate bottlenecks is to capture the end-to-end supply chain requirements
Photo by Anne Nygård on Unsplash In the coming few years, several new semiconductor FABs will start production. Several of these were part of long-term semiconductor requirements. Few started construction based on the semiconductor shortages and the push to mitigate such a scenario in the future. These new FAB required
Photo by Thomas Jensen on Unsplash Data centers are vital for modern-day computing and have also evolved based on the requirements of different types of computing. Today, there are different types of data centers. However, of all, hyperscale data centers are on the rise. Hyperscale data centers house several connected
Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash The design and development of an AI Chip is not an easy process. More so when the cost is high while the use cases are limited. It thus makes the process of selecting requirements for an AI Chip a critical one. These requirements for
Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash Lately, several AI-driven silicon chip solutions have showcased the benefits of utilizing the semiconductor chips designed and manufactured for the AI application. It is also evident based on the several new XPUs being AI-compatible, which is possible only by combining the best features of
Photo by John Jemison on Unsplash Developing new consumer and enterprise technology requires a new type of semiconductor technology, ranging from design, raw materials, equipment, packaging, fabrication, manufacturing, and many more segments of semiconductors. These technologies developed are called semiconductor enabling technology. Enabling technology brings a new type of semiconductor
Photo by Robert Ruggiero on Unsplash The development of new technology always leads to new types of data. Processing varying and vast amounts of data require computer architecture. These architectures balance the latency and throughput to ensure the user experience is not compromised. And to enhance the user experience, the
Photo by Harrison Broadbent on Unsplash Semiconductor companies not only design silicon devices but also (directly and indirectly) power different types of embedded systems. These systems (smart devices, laptops, servers, etc.) cater to consumer and enterprise electronics. And to validate new ideas or prototypes, embedded systems play a crucial role.
Photo by Dan Cristian Pădureț on Unsplash The semiconductor industry is all about value creation for the business dependent on it. This value is primarily due to Moore’s first law-driven semiconductor product that brought several generations of computing solutions. And, to ensure the value creation process continues forever, More-Than-Moore solutions
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.
