Ten teams and twenty drivers will compete for the next ten months by running high-speed cars across twenty-two different types of racing circuits located in several parts of the world. The team with consistent results, flawless drivers,
Photo by Vishnu Mohanan on Unsplash Since the semiconductor shortage started, private semiconductor players and public bodies have focused on semiconductor manufacturing. The primary reason impact semiconductor shortage had on all other industries that heavily rely on semiconductor solutions. One of the positive impacts of semiconductor shortage (which ideally should
Photo by Chris Ried on Unsplash The shrinking size of semiconductor nodes has led to better performance, which is beneficial from a features point of view, but not from the cost point of view. The cost to design and manufacture highly complex chips (to provide better performance) is increasing year
Photo by Nenad Grujic on Unsplash Heterogeneous Integration (HI) has become one of the most focused topics in the last decade. From academia to industry, everyone is publishing and launching innovative solutions to scale transistors per area out of the die. HI is also one of the paths (that soon)
Photo by ShareGrid on Unsplash Semiconductor testing is one of the most critical steps in ensuring that the product meets all the required specifications and quality standards. Thus semiconductor testing has also become a major driving factor for defect-free products. Every chip manufactured has to go through testing processes to
Photo by Denys Nevozhai on Unsplash Advanced semiconductor package technologies have always played a crucial role in transistor scaling. It is also the primary reason these two scaling methods complement each other to enable customers (and industry) with innovative solutions. Die and package level innovation have always provided the industry
Photo by Stefan Kunze on Unsplash The semiconductor industry is entering a new era where all high-tech solutions will demand new and advanced semiconductor product-driven solutions. These solutions range from wireless to automotive. In this massive market (upward of $2 Trillion), there will be a need to re-invent different segments
Photo by Testalize.me on Unsplash Semiconductor manufacturing cost is increasing year on year. The reasons are the high cost to develop new semiconductor manufacturing processes, which often requires constant up-gradation of facilities. As semiconductor manufacturers expand to new regions, the most critical piece will be the push for innovation. The
Photo by CHUTTERSNAP on Unsplash Logic devices (FETs) are the building blocks of semiconductor products. Today’s silicon chip can easily have billions of these logic devices. It is also in line with Moore’s law, and today’s semiconductor technology allows the possibility of packing more logic devices without impacting the total
Photo by Alex Motoc on Unsplash The computing industry relies on semiconductor products to enable faster processing. And, to drive real-time processing semiconductor industry has to keep innovating. This two-way hand-shake reliance has grown over the last decade (due to new software demand) and will only grow more in the
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.
