Photo by Brian Kostiuk on Unsplash THE REQUIREMENTS OF NEW SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The semiconductor industry is driving on top of the products that different companies introduce. These semiconductor products have to go through complex product development procedures to fulfill strict technical and business requirements. That makes the planning and
Photo by L N on Unsplash THE REASONS FOR SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING AUTOMATION Automation is part of all advanced manufacturing industries. As the computing world has progressed, the high-tech software-hardware interaction now allows manufacturers all over the world to make the most of automation techniques to accurately run their production line.
Photo by Barrett Ward on Unsplash THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF SEMICONDUCTOR SUPPLY CHAIN Supply Chain Management (SCM) is part of every manufacturing industry. It enables the movement and management of finished goods and all those components that drive the development of the final product. As the world became more connected,
Photo by Yogesh Phuyal on Unsplash THE IMPACT OF SEMICONDUCTOR FAT OUTSOURCING The process of developing a semiconductor product requires several business and technical components to work together. Depending upon the business model of the semiconductor company, these development activities (mainly design and manufacturing) can be insourced or outsourced. The
Photo by Firdouss Ross on Unsplash THE REASONS FOR THE OVERLAPPING OF SEMICONDUCTOR PURE-PLAY FAB AND OSAT BUSINESS Semiconductor manufacturing is heavily dependent on external vendors. This is more true for semiconductor companies that do not have any internal manufacturing capability and have to rely heavily on outsourcing. This has
Photo by Lenny Kuhne on Unsplash THE IMPACT OF SEMICONDUCTOR SHORTAGE ON AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY Automotive is one of the several industries that heavily rely on semiconductor products to provide different features. These features range from infotainment to sensors to wireless communication. Over the last few decades, the need to drive
Photo by Devin Spell on Unsplash THE IMPORTANCE OF OUTSOURCED SEMICONDUCTOR ASSEMBLY AND TEST Outsourcing is one of the several ways to optimize in-house business activities, and that is why the majority of the industry heavily takes advantage of outsourcing. In the long run, hiring an external vendor to outsource

The devices used to send such requests can
Photo by Maxence Pira on Unsplash THE IMPACT OF WAFER SIZE ON SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY The semiconductor industry is built on the platform laid by silicon wafers that form the base of fabricating different types of advanced semiconductor products. The silicon wafers have gone through an incremental change in size/diameter over
Photo by Jason Leung on Unsplash THE REASONS TO DEVELOP CUSTOM SEMICONDUCTOR CHIP IN-HOUSE As technology is progressing and touching every aspect of day-to-day life, the dependence on semiconductor solutions is also growing. These solutions are often made by semiconductor companies and can power several things from sensors to a
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.
