The global microchip shortage, beginning in 2020 and
further exacerbated this year by ongoing supply chain issues and trade impacted
by geopolitical factors such as the Russia-Ukraine War, has forced governments
and many firms to rethink their strategies to meet demand, In the US, the Senate
passed a bipartisan measure called the CHIPS Act in the summer of 2021 to spend
$52 billion USD for the subsidization of computer chip manufacturing and
research in the country. But according to the Washington Post, “the process of
combining the House and Senate bills has been bogged down over disputes about
elements of the legislation unrelated to chips, including climate provisions
and trade with China.”
Microchip giant Intel (NasdaqGS:INTC) recently invested $20 billion
in a chip-factory project in Ohio. Regarding the CHIPS Act, William Moss, a
spokesman for Intel, said in an emailed statement to the Washington Post:
“…the
scope and pace of our expansion in Ohio will depend heavily on funding from the
CHIPS Act. Unfortunately, CHIPS Act funding has moved more slowly than we
expected and we still don’t know when it will get done. It is time for Congress
to act so we can move forward at the speed and scale we have long envisioned
for Ohio and our other projects.”
A recent report published by Transparency Market Research found that the
global market for SoCs (System-on-a-chip) is projected to grow from roughly
$151.8 billion USD in 2021 to $317.8 billion by the end of 2031, with a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1 percent in the forecast period
2022-31. Driving the demand for chips, according to the report, is the
“increasing demand for high performance and low cost portable electronic
devices and wearable devices such as smartphones, laptops, smartwatches,
headsets, etc…,” as well as their utility in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
(ADAS).
GBT Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK:GTCH), an early stage
technology developer in (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Enabled Mobile
Technology Platforms, is an example of a firm innovating in the microchip
space, with its 3D, multiplanar, integrated circuits (IC) design and
manufacturing technology. Most recently, GBT announced that it is researching the
development of a machine learning-driven, automated integrated circuits design
environment, enabling Fast-Track, Design-to-Silicon capabilities. Regarding the
development, the Company’s CTO, Danny Rittman explained:
"We
are researching an IC solution that would target small start-up companies to
large corporations in the semiconductor industry with varying design
requirements. With GBT's new approach, we aim to develop a machine
learning-driven, one automated IC design flow, enabling Fast-Track
Design-to-Silicon for IC design houses. The way we want to do this is by
combining traditionally separate front-end and back-end chip design flows into
one integrated environment that accelerates the overall design cycle and
reducing the IC development costs. A typical microchip design process includes
many steps which are classified as front-end and back-end tasks. Various steps
are executed using separate EDA tools which require vast amount of integration
and design environment adjustments. The new, machine learning-driven flow that
we are researching aims to provide one-stop design environment advanced
capabilities, with high levels of automation, with the goal of enabling the
delivery of superior quality designs, with much faster completion time. The
usage of our deep learning and advanced computational geometry algorithms aims
to produce a comprehensive design environment, enabling efficient
digital/analog design and implementation, particularly with advanced manufacturing
nodes. In addition, we are also researching incorporating other capabilities
into the system which may include functional and physical verification,
simulations, power optimization, characterization, or yield management. With
this research we aim to standardize digital and analog IC's design, simulation,
verification and characterization. We firmly believe that a one, intelligent,
automated IC design environment will introduce a significant productivity
enhancement for IC design firms, reducing their overall projects design time
and bringing them faster to market.”
Earlier in June, tech giant Apple (NasdaqGS:AAPL) announced the M2 chip – an evolution of its M1
which debuted earlier in 2022 – described as “the next generation of Apple
silicon designed specifically for the Mac.” The new chip boasts “an 18 percent
faster CPU, a 35 percent more powerful GPU, and a 40 percent faster Neural
Engine,” than its predecessor. Johny Srouji, Apple’s senior vice president of
Hardware Technologies, said:
"M2
starts the second generation of M-series chips and goes beyond the remarkable
features of M1. With our relentless focus on power-efficient performance, M2
delivers a faster CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine. And along with higher memory
bandwidth and new capabilities like ProRes acceleration, M2 continues the
tremendous pace of innovation in Apple silicon for the Mac."
Elsewhere in the space, electronic design automation
firm Synopsys (NasdaqGS:SNPS) posted news that multinational semiconductor
contract manufacturing and design company Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing
Company (TSMC) (NYSE:TSM) has certified the Synopsys digital
and custom design flows for its industry-leading N3E and N4P process
technologies. This, according to the press release, helps “customers optimize
performance, power and area (PPA) for next-generation system-on-chips (SoCs)
used in demanding mobile and high-performance computing applications.” Suk Lee,
Vice President of the Design Infrastructure Management Division at TSMC,
commented:
"TSMC
and Synopsys have successfully collaborated for decades, with the shared goal
of helping our mutual customers meet the aggressive PPA demands of increasingly
complex SoCs. By enabling Synopsys' design solutions on TSMC's high-performing
and power-efficient N3E and N4P processes, customers can produce innovative,
advanced chips for a variety of demanding, compute-intensive
applications."
The semiconductor shortage continues to inhibit the
supply of chips to manufacturers, but companies like the aforementioned GBT
Technologies are keeping at innovation and making more efficient microchip
designs. Though this scarcity might stretch into 2023, as a piece from Consumer Reports suggests, companies that
persist in inventiveness and development may be better positioned in the
market.
