The making of a chip - from sand to semiconductor --- Do you know how semiconductors are made? Watch Infineon's video to learn about this very complex process. More on: https://bit.ly/4aAZtg6

Must watch to get a feel of the clarity & expertise world-class cabinet ministers need to have to take the nation forward!

It's good to see the plan of semiconductor ecosystem explained by our honorable minister shri Ashwini Vaishnaw sir. Literally, India is going to do great in this field. #semiconductor #makeinindia #ecosystem

Well thought out semindcutor strategy laid out by Indian IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnav. Funny he also identifes EDA tool pricing challenge, yet how he is solving this by making special deals with all EDA vendors providing access to these state of the art tools to 104 universities. And much more. #semiconductorindustry #makeinindia #ashwinivaishnaw #ecosystembuilding #supplychainresilience

It's fantastic to see ministers delving into technical details when explaining initiatives. Typically, funding is directed to elite institutions, benefiting only a handful of students. These institutes secure government projects, training students in VLSI design. However, there's a gap in upskilling students outside these institutions. We need to assess faculty expertise in handling tools and technology at other institutes. If this program can extend to a broader audience with a foolproof plan, it would be an excellent beginning.

I worked on researching Wafer Production Costs and Pricing over time (frontend costs up to dicing/sawing) using TechInsights' Semiconductor Manufacturing Economics data. We analyzed hundreds of wafer processes at Analog Devices, Bosch, Global Foundries, Infineon, Intel, Microchip, Micron, Nexperia, NXP, onsemi, Renesas, Rohm, Samsung, SK Hynix, SMIC, STMicro, Texas Instruments, TSMC, and UMC. In Q1 2024 costs for wafer production has fallen from 2023. Also, pricing for wafers has dropped for almost all companies (except for those in the memory market that had large drops in pricing in 2023 and are now seeing price recoveries).

Technical Leadership, Strong Fundamentals, Good Planning and Vision...

The compliments on "The semiconductor Saga" have started to pour in. If you are looking for a basic book to teach you almost everything about semiconductors, Do take a look: https://lnkd.in/dcKU2wHX

To our knowledge, no North American River Otters currently subscribe to the TechInsights Semiconductor Information Platform. Coincidence? Surely not! Be more informed than your local semi-aquatic critter by checking out the go-to answer to your semiconductor information and analysis needs.
