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
Photo by ThisisEngineering RAEng on Unsplash THE FINITE SEMICONDUCTOR GAME The semiconductor industry consists of different players (companies) playing one of the two games: Finite Or Infinite. The technical and business planning laid out by any semiconductor company can enable classification of whether they are playing the long-term infinite game
Photo by Florian Olivo on Unsplash THE MAJOR BLOCKS OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR FOUNDRY ROADMAP RACE Semiconductor foundries across the globe are focused on providing solutions to retain existing customers and attract new customers. To achieve these two goals, semiconductor foundry companies have to keep innovating. Innovations are critical to ensure
Photo by L N on Unsplash THE KNOWN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING STRUGGLES The cost of semiconductor manufacturing is doubling every four years. The major driving factor for the rising cost is the product complexity due to the introduction of new technology-node and packaging technologies. Electrical testing also has played a role
Photo by Matt Duncan on Unsplash THE HURDLES FOR THE SHRINKING SEMICONDUCTOR ROADMAP Several roadmaps get initiated by different semiconductor companies and also semiconductor technical bodies. These roadmaps provided a path of where semiconductor technologies were, where it is today and where it will be tomorrow. In many cases, roadmaps
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.
