Trends in VLSI Ecosystem: India's semiconductor policy - the ongoing debate
http://asic-vlsi.blogspot.com/2007/03/indias-semiconductor-policy-ongoing.html
Trends in VLSI Ecosystem. Ruminations on trends in the microelectronics arena. Tuesday, March 20, 2007. India's semiconductor policy - the ongoing debate. Read this article (Nadamuni says, in EE Times). Wanted to submit my comments there but looks like a perpetual error while submitting comments. Investing with new equipment in light of the above and especially with the unavailability of incentives for such plants i.e. with second hand semiconductor equipment will make the potential investors wary. And b...

Trends in VLSI Ecosystem. Ruminations on trends in the microelectronics arena. Thursday, May 03, 2007. Convergence outcome unclear but opportunity rich. I read an interesting article. On the recent iSuppli European Briefing series held in Hungary and reported by Drew Wilson in Electronic Business. A seamless integration of all the verticals should, in my humble opinion, not be the point of focus. For a growing and nascent Semicon industry like ours, I think a solid infrastructure, technical know-how ...

Trends in VLSI Ecosystem. Ruminations on trends in the microelectronics arena. Monday, May 14, 2007. Renesas seeks to keep its own process technology. Seems to be bucking the trend of IDMs relying more and more on foundries for advanced process technology development. This, however, will not prevent it from outsourcing for volume production on advanced devices. So now we have three basic types of economies :. The Fab-lites who outsource the complete manufacturing process. I've been working in the microel...
