What’s Trending in Semiconductor Technology?
Ever wondered what is embedded in your gadgets’ structural framework, that provides it with such immense power? 
The answer is – semiconductors – or ICs as they are better known.
Semiconductors are an integral part of our lives. Starting right from the invisible microsensors to the massive supercomputers, they are indispensable!

The semiconductor market has been on an all-time high, recording a 22% increase in record markets for the second consecutive time, according to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS).  In the equipment market, South Korea has bagged the top spot. And the market is so huge that there are indeed companies which analyze and predict market trends of this technology!
If seen from the technological point of view, semiconductor technology is constantly evolving. Moore’s law states that the number of transistors in a semiconductor will double every two years. And this theory has stood the test of time. Artificial intelligence (AI), multi-core processors, 5G application, ultra microchips, etc have been the talk of the town for a while now.
AI has much larger scope than it was perceived to be earlier. Systems developed for AI incorporation consume an excess of power to function effectively. Henceforth, graphics chips (developed for gaming) are to be considered for machine learning.

5G technology is not far from reality! High-speed data is a necessity nowadays, rather than a luxury. The semiconductor industry will have to provide multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) and beam-steering technologies in order to cope up with such demands.
The semiconductor industry is also facing its own set of challenges. The challenges lie in design, processing, and packaging of integrated circuits. The demand for more complex, powerful circuits has increased in recent years. Although companies have invested substantially in R&D of semiconductors, they might not be able to fill in the technological gap that will arise in the next 10 or 15 years. That being said, there is always room for innovation. And Steve Jobs has rightly said – ‘Innovation is the only way to win!’
