About Me

Dear readers,

My name is Ashish. I have a PhD in chemistry with a strong background in semiconductor manufacturing. The semiconductor industry is vast, and although I could be considered an expert on certain topics, such as photoresist chemistry and Lithography, I have limited knowledge on many other important aspects or domains. Therefore, I am here to help you (and myself) to continue upgrading my understanding of different topics related to this complicated but sophisticated industry.

Current market situation In 2024, global consumer electronics market sales were between $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion. With a predictive CAGR of ~6.6% through 2030. Whereas, Global semiconductor sales were clocked at just below $700 billion. Due to multi-billion USD investements and local government's incentive towards "Semicon India", India seems to be the fastest growing semiconductor market with a projected CAGR of 13-15% through 2025-2030. Short historical timeline 1958: Jack Kilby from Texas Instruments invented the first Germanium (Ge) based IC. 1959: Robert Noyce from Fairchild Semiconductor modified it to Si-based IC, bringing this technology closer to high-volume manufacturing (HVM). 1980: Beginning of Computer Integrated Monitoring of ICs (IC-CIM), which improved productivity in the IC manufacturing process. Introduction to p-n junction fabrication process A p-n junction diode is one of the most fundamental semiconductor devices. It consists of two regions of do...
