Global Semiconductor Industry Landscape Market Dynamics

Drivers: Rapid Advancement in AI, along with Innovation and Extended R&D

The demand for data centers, especially edge services, surged significantly worldwide amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Many data center service providers started expanding their facilities and server architectures to utilize this opportunity. In such regard, memory components are further witnessing increasing demand owing to various factors such as the growth in cloud computing, increasing need for AI and HPC, and growing adoption of advanced GPUs and CPUs, among others.

Companies like US-based NVIDIA are leveraging its GPU architecture to create platforms for virtual reality, HPC, and AI. In 2020, the company also launched its first GPU-Based AI chip to boost performance by 20x.

Restraints: Complex Fabrication Process, Owning to Decreasing Chip Size

Moore's Law states density is all about the number of transistors fitted in a given 2-Dimensional area. It is vital to care about the chip area as the cost of the chip is directly proportional to the chip area.

However, some scientists feel that transistor shrinkage is no longer viable. To get an approximate notion of the dimensions, compare them to the scale of a modern transistor, which has a typical gate length of about 20 nanometers. On the other hand, a water molecule has a diameter of only 2.75 Angstroms, or 0.275 nanometers. Many issues limit the transistor's fabrication expectations at such a small scale. Controlling materials at the atomic level is one of the most difficult issues. Individual atom placement becomes tough while creating a transistor.
