In 2022, the market is flagging, the PC market and the demand for electronic consumption are declining, the major manufacturers are cutting orders continuously, the inventory is high successively, and the overall market supply and demand mismatch; There are also cases of short supply, such as logic chips, IGBT, automotive MCU and so on to maintain a high business status.   In the face of this market situation, look at Taiwan Semiconductor, Intel, Samsung, SK Hynix,  United electric, and other major manufacturers, how to optimize the industrial layout adjustment, to meet the 2023 new start.     [Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company]   Attack overseas market, improve 3 nm yield; Technology development 2-nanometer process; The expenditure budget has been further revised down.   From the perspective of the process node, the utilization rate of 7nm and 6nm capacity of TSMC has declined, which is estimated to take several quarters to adjust. It is expected that the demand is expected t

  The main process of front-end design   1.  D etermine the specifications   Chip specifications, also like a list of features, is the customer to the chip design company (called Fabless, waferless design company) proposed design requirements, including the chip needs to achieve specific functional and performance requirements.   2. Define the architecture   Fabless comes up with a specific implementation architecture and the functions of each module based on the specifications proposed by the customer.   3.  HDL coding   Use hardware description language (VHDL, Verilog HDL, industry companies generally use the latter) to describe the module function in code to achieve, that is, the actual hardware circuit function is described by HDL language to form RTL (register transfer level) code.   4.  Simulation verification   Simulation verification is to check the correctness of the coding design, and the criteria for the verification is the specification developed in the first step. See if t

  Chip   Chip, also known as microcircuit, microchip, or integrated circuit (English: integrated circuit, IC). It is a silicon chip containing an integrated circuit, which is very small and often part of a computer or other electronic device.   Chip, English for Chip; chipset for Chipset. chip generally refers to the carrier of the integrated circuit, but also the integrated circuit after design, manufacturing, packaging, testing, usually an independent whole that can be used immediately. The two words "chip" and "integrated circuit" are often used together, for example, in the usual discussion topics, integrated circuit design and chip design is said to mean one thing, chip industry, integrated circuit industry, IC industry, IC industry is often a meaning. In fact, these two terms have a connection and a difference. Integrated circuit entities often have to exist in the form of chips, because the narrow sense of integrated circuit, is to emphasize the circuit itsel
