Si ChatGPT a captivé la planète ces deux dernières années, son évolution vers de nouveaux sommets nécessitera des infrastructures bien plus vastes, et donc de plus en plus de semi-conducteurs haut de gamme. Ces derniers mois, Sam Altman a été sous pression pour ne plus s'appuyer uniquement sur des sociétés comme Nvidia afin de se fournir en semi-conducteur, mais pour construire sa propre unité de production dans ce domaine. Un projet qui nécessitera un financement énorme !Ces dernières semaines, Sam Altman était en tournée avec d'importants fonds d'investissement et des géants de l'électronique pour lever des fonds dans le but d'implanter des usines de fabrication de semi-conducteurs spécialisés dans l'IA aux quatre coins du monde. Si le projet était déjà ambitieux, la réalité est qu'il sera encore plus grand que prévu. Selon les informations du Wall Street Journal, le patron d'OpenAI pourrait amasser une somme absolument folle, entre 5000 et 7000 milliards de dollars. Ces chiffres sont encore plus impressionnants si l'on considère qu'OpenAI ne vaut actuellement qu'environ 80 milliards de dollars. Si l'on met ça en perspectives avec d'autres infos déjà traitées dans ce podcast, OpenAI deviendrait l'entreprise avec le plus gros capital du monde, plus du double de Microsoft qui occupe la place de leader avec 3000 milliards de capitalisation en bourse actuellement, même si ce n'est pas totalement sur le même plan.Ce que fait Sam Altman est unique dans le domaine de l'investissement privé. Concrètement, son objectif est de rassembler investisseurs, fournisseurs d'énergie et fabricants de puces pour produire ensemble des semi-conducteurs dédiés à l'IA. La firme n'est pas la seule à faire état de très forts besoins en puces avancées, dans un marché pourtant très contraint. Meta par exemple, veut aussi produire une partie de ses puces. De manière générale, la Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) prévoit que les ventes mondiales de semi-conducteurs augmenteront de 13,1 % pour atteindre quasiment 600 milliards de dollars cette année.

We are all aware of the “oldest profession in the world.” Perhaps the second-oldest is counterfeiting. Whenever a product is introduced, a counterfeit version soon follows. While the electronics industry has experienced counterfeit components from its inception, recent events such as the pandemic and supply chain shortages have fueled the counterfeit industry. Statistics by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) reveal that the counterfeiting of electronic parts in the US alone cost the chip industry more than $7.5 billion in revenue annually. According to new data from the ERAI, a global information board for counterfeiting, reports of counterfeit electronic products are growing. Although it is difficult to put an exact figure on just how many counterfeit products are in circulation, estimates suggest that consumer and industrial businesses lose approximately $250 billion each year due to counterfeit parts.  To talk more about counterfeit components and detection technologies is Dr. Eyal Weiss, Founder and CTO of Cybord. Dr. Weiss received his Ph.D. in electronic and computer engineering from BGU (Ben-Gurion University) in Israel as well as a master's in plasma physics and bachelor's (cum laude) in mechanical engineering from the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology. He worked as a researcher on pulsed plasma at Soreq Research Center (SNRC). He then worked as a technology department manager in the high-tech fiber-optics industry. He was the technology manager at Lynx Photonics and then at Explay, developing state-of-the-art silicon and optical chips production, packaging, and assembly production lines. He developed a new fiber-pigtailing and packaging technology and built full-scale production lines utilizing this new technology. He returned to Soreq SNRC and for 15 years served as manager and leading scientist of the R&D Systems Department. He built mass-production lines and assembly lines for new sensors technology and developed their test equipment. He has twice received the prestigious Israel Defense Prize.  In 2018, he founded and became CTO of Cybord, developing electronic component qualification and authentication technologies. He is a member of the Israel Innovation Authority, Euramet, SAE, and IPC committees. He specializes in multidisciplinary technology development and has received significant awards and accolades in the fields of machine learning, plasma physics, optical assemblies, laser technology, and electromagnetics.  Dr. Weiss is an expert in technology development and manufacturing technology and has published over 20 peer-reviewed articles, 4 patents, and a book.     This podcast is brought to you by PCB East, the original conference for the #electronics #design, #manufacturing and #assembly industry on the East Coast. Coming to Boxborough, MA, on May 9-12, with the one-day exhibition and a day's worth of free technical sessions on May 10. Visit pcbeast.com for details.

Matsyanyaaya: The New CHIPS Bill Raises More Questions than it Answers— Arjun GargeyasIn the last week, the US Senate decided to advance a bill to promote and support semiconductor chip manufacturing in the country. The bill, known as the CHIPS Act, is an extension to the previous year’s legislation passed by the Senate which approved a $250 billion bill to reinforce US chipmaking to compete with the growing clout of China. With the global chip shortage receding and the production getting back to pre-pandemic levels, the US government pushed the bill through with the intention of improving the manufacturing capabilities of the country in the semiconductor industry. With China running its foundries at full-scale even during the height of the pandemic, the state has managed to slowly increase its market share in the global semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. A recent Bloomberg report showcases how the last four quarters have been dominated by Chinese semiconductor firms and their operations. This has raised alarms among the Western states regarding the reduction in influence and market share in the semiconductor domain. But how much can the CHIPS act achieve the goals and objectives that the US government intends to? Will there be any unintended consequences and unfavourable effects that might arise from the act itself?Subsidies to increase manufacturing output? The CHIPS bill seeks to facilitate the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem in the country through increased subsidies and financial incentives for the domestic players. Considering the multifaceted benefits of improved chip manufacturing capacity, the US government looks to provide subsidies worth $52 billion to domestic semiconductor companies through the CHIPS bill.One of the main reasons behind the advancement of the CHIPS bill is to reduce manufacturing dependencies on Asian semiconductor manufacturers and increase domestic manufacturing output. Another objective of the bill is to ensure self-sufficiency in the supply of semiconductor chips in case of another global chip shortage. But can subsidies translate into an increase in manufacturing? Historically, it's noticed that in technology sectors, pumping in money and favourable industrial policies cannot always translate into necessary outcomes. This is especially true for the semiconductor industry. A case in point is China itself. The Chinese government has provided a plethora of incentives, subsidies and even financed companies with the hope of improving their semiconductor manufacturing output. However, even its major firm, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Company (SMIC) took over two decades to make a mark in the industry. Currently, it still lags behind industry giants such as Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Though the CHIPS bill has the potential to positively impact semiconductor manufacturing in the country, the government should not imagine that this would completely insulate the US from supply chain dependencies. This might cover the domestic demand to an extent but international dependency will still remain. TSMC itself is building a new fab in Arizona looking to branch out from Taiwan. Manufacturing equipment still remains an issue with the need to import certain equipment from abroad. Also, there is the caveat of the bill stating how semiconductor firms would not be allowed to have any Chinese investments in their company if they benefit from the subsidies provided by the bill. Restrictions over the import and export of semiconductor products to China is also included when availing the benefits of the new legislation. The CHIPS bill will help spur semiconductor manufacturing in the country and cater to its domestic demand to an extent. But, expecting the bill to help the US attain self-sufficiency in the supply chain remains a futile expectation. Fab vs Fabless Another aspect of this legislation is the division of benefits and subsidies. The current CHIPS bill benefits the firms that have the capability to design and manufacture their own semiconductor products. This includes Intel which has the fabrication potential. The bill provides subsidies to build fabrication facilities and provides investment tax credit to purchase tools for use inside their factories.However, the entire industry is not happy with this. Fabless firms such as NVIDIA, AMD and Qualcomm have expressed disappointment at the legislation. Fabless firms are those semiconductor companies that design their products but outsource their manufacturing to Asian counterparts. The new bill does not have any direct benefits for fabless firms as they do not build foundries or buy equipment. Such firms have argued this would help just Intel and is more of a rent-seeking opportunity for Intel to dominate the market. Unfair competition between the fab and fabless firms can result in the government choosing winners (in this case, Intel) is what the other companies are saying. These fabless firms actually support an earlier version of the FABS Act (introduced earlier in the House of Representatives) which provides tax credit on both manufacturing and chip design activities giving benefits to both the type of semiconductor firms. This version of the bill was also supported by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). Though not officially opposing the bill, fabless semiconductor firms have questioned the impact of huge sums of money supporting their competitors.Finally, the fact that the US has the most number of semiconductor fabrication facilities in the world can also hamper the distribution of the subsidies. Will the financial incentives be proportional to the market share of the company or will it support smaller manufacturers also? These are questions that the bill might have to address before finally getting President Joe Biden’s final signature.Antariksh Matters: Space Dreams and Ground Realities— Aditya RamanathanThe Indian government may look to space tourism to sustain its human spaceflight programme. In a response to a Rajya Sabha question, the minister of state for science and technology said India was developing a homegrown capability to support space tourism. According to the minister, this capability would be developed via the Gaganyaan human spaceflight programme.Singh’s comments come even as the government has acknowledged delays in the Gaganyaan programme, which was originally planned to be launched in 2022, to mark 75 years of India’s independence. That deadline has now been pushed to 2024. Besides the formidable technical challenges involved in any human spaceflight programme, Gaganyaan was also set back by the pandemic, which forced ISRO to scale back operations. Russia’s war with Ukraine will likely add to the difficulties, since Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, which trained an initial batch of four Indian Air Force cosmonauts, has been heavily sanctioned by Western states. “Abort Missions”Long before any space tourists (or for that matter, cosmonauts) take off on an Indian launch vehicle, there will come a series of tests. The first of these will be a so-called “abort mission,” slated for September and December of 2022. Having already tested the human-rated HS2000 rocket booster in May, ISRO will now conduct uncrewed tests of the survival systems. According to reporting in The Indian Express:‘For the abort missions, the space agency has developed test vehicles that can send the systems up to a certain height, simulate failure, and then check the escape system. Gaganyaan’s escape system was designed with five “quick-acting” solid fuel motors with a high burn rate propulsion system, and fins to maintain stability. The crew escape system will separate from the crew module by firing explosive nuts.’The next steps would be to integrate a crew module and an onboard “Onboard Launch Vehicle Health Management System” along with other elements. As ISRO chief S. Somanath recently concluded in an interview, the human-ready launch system “is yet to see the final shape”.Creating an LEO EconomyIndia’s ambitious next step for human spaceflight is to launch its own space station. Such a space station is to orbit at altitudes of 300-400 km above sea level and have more than one module. However, Singh’s statement about space tourism is a reminder than human spaceflight missions are expensive and that states - and private companies - need to find ways to recoup their costs. The Gaganyaan project alone has a price tag of INR9,000 crores (about $1.13 billion). Sending Indians into space on a regular basis will cost many times more. Other spacefaring nations, in particular, the United States and China, have recognised these realities and are seeking to create self-sustaining low Earth Orbit (LEO) economies. While the International Space Station (ISS) is slated to be deorbited in January 2031, the US is promoting the creation of an ecosystem of privately built and operated space stations to replace it. The US space agency NASA has already selected and commenced funding of three proposed space stations: those by Nanoracks, Blue Origin, and Northrop Grumman. While it is possible that some of these stations will fail to work or fail to make money, the very process of designing, building, and operating them will help develop both the technologies and the institutional experience required for a vibrant LEO economy. India remains far behind the world’s leading spacefarers in these efforts. To send Indians into space on a regular basis will ultimately require more than space tourism - it will require a thriving private space industry and international collaboration.Our Reading Menu[Article] Artificial Intelligence Regulation by Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar and Aziz Z.

US equity markets concluded another volatile week of trading in the red following the release of the official March non-farm payrolls report that ended 113-month consecutive months of employment growth - Dow dropped -361-points or -1.69%. American Express Co (down -3.99%), UnitedHealth (-4.55%) and International Business Machines Corp (IBM) (-3.33%) fell more than >3% each to lead the Dow lower. The broader S&P500 fell -1.51%. Utilities (down -3.62%), Materials (-2.34%), Financials (-2.23%) and Communication Services (-2.20%) all fell over -2% to lead eleven of the twelve primary sectors lower. Consumer Staples (up +0.54%) was the only sector to advance, with Walmart Inc rose +0.70% after the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that sales from Walmart's over 4,700 US stores increased nearly 20% over the past four weeks compared with the same period a year earlier. Sales on Walmart.com rose over >30% over the past eight weeks, with downloads of Walmart's online grocery mobile app skyrocketing, according to documents viewed by the WSJ. United Airlines Holdings Inc (UAL) fell -8.15% in the extended session (having lost -2.28% in the regular session) after the airline announced an ~80% capacity cut for April and expects even larger cuts in May. UAL said it will evaluate and cancel flights on a rolling 90-day basis until demand recovers. The airline said it is losing more than US$100M a day in revenue and that it expects fourth-quarter revenue to be down at least 30% from the year-ago period. UAL has also reportedly filed for a federal grant in order to keep paying employees.Delta Air Lines Inc fell -11.48% in the extended session (having dipped -0.88% in regular trading) after the carrier said its second quarter will be "even more difficult than the first", while Chief Executive Ed Bastian said that the company is “burning more than $60M in cash every day” and “we know we still haven't seen the bottom". Mr Bastian said that Delta's April schedule will be about 80% smaller than planned, with 115,000 flights cancelled,. Mr Bastian also said that the airline has applied for government support but that the funds alone “are not nearly enough” as revenue is expected to be down 90% for the second quarter. Without action, that government's relief funds would be gone by June, Mr Bastian said. Separately, Warren Buffett's investment vehicle Berkshire Hathaway Inc disclosed on Friday (3 April) that it had sold ~18% of its stake (~13M shares or ~US$314M) in Delta and ~4% of its holding (~2.3m shares or ~US$74M) in Southwest Airlines Co (-3.05%) The NASDAQ -1.53%. The latest data released by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) late on Friday (3 April) recorded that global chip sales momentum stalled in February due a slowing in demand from China amid the COVID-19 pandemic. While worldwide February sales rose 5% to $34.5B from a year ago, they declined 2.4% from January's sales of $35.4 billion, with sales from China falling 7.5% from January. "Global semiconductor sales in February were solid overall, outpacing sales from last February, but month-to-month demand in the China market slipped significantly and the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global market has yet to be captured in available sales numbers," said John Neuffer, SIA president and chief executive.

Weak September manufacturing data dragged the benchmark US equity indices into the red on the first trading day of the fourth quarter - Dow settled -344-points or -1.28% lower, unwinding an earlier gain of more than >100-points The broader S&P500 lost -1.23%, Manufacturers Honeywell International Inc and 3M Co both fell at least 2.8% on the back of the weak manufacturing data. NASDAQ shed -1.13%. However, Apple Inc rose +0.28% after the company's chief executive Tim Cook told German tabloid Bild that the newly launched iPhone 11 has enjoyed a "very strong start". Global year-over-year sales of chips fell for an eighth straight month, according to data released by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). August chip sales fell -15.9% to US$34.2B from the previous year, when semiconductor sales peaked at record levels. However, the SIA did point out that "While worldwide semiconductor sales remain well behind the totals reached in 2018, month-to-month sales increased in two consecutive months for the first time in nearly a year,"

Chua and Sung-Mo Kang published a paper, in 1976, that described a large class of devices and systems they called memristive devices and systems.  Just recently, Stan Williams and his research team at HP Labs unveiled a two-terminal titanium dioxide nanoscale device in Nature magazine that exhibited memristor characteristics. This symposium will explore the potential of memristors and memristive systems as they advance state of the art nano-electronic circuits. Program (Part 2) Memristors as Synapses in a Neural Computing Architecture Greg Snider, Senior Architect, Information and Quantum Systems Laboratory, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Prospects and Challenges of Redox-based Memristive RRAM Concpets Rainer Waser, RWTH Aachen University at Research Center Juelich, Germany   The event is co-sponsored by UC Merced and UC Berkeley in cooperation with the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA).
