is delivered and consumed as a service
over the network
¡ Services operate consistently,
regardless of the underlying systems
¡ Capacity and performance scale to
meet demand and are invoiced by use
¡ Services are shared across multiple
organizations, allowing the same
under-lying systems and applications to
meet the demands of a variety of
interests, simultaneously and securely
¡ Applications, services, and data can be
accessed through a wide range of
connected devices (e.g., smart phones,
laptops, and other mobile internet
devices)

32. ¡ In 1990 (twenty-five years ago), he predicted
§ That computer would defeat a world chess champion by 1998. Then in 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue
defeated Garry Kasparov
§ That PCs would be capable of answering queries by accessing information wirelessly via the
Internet by 2010. He was right!
§ That by the early 2000s, exoskeletal limbs would let the disabled walk. Companies like Ekso
Bionics and others now have technology that does just this, and much more
¡ In 1999, he predicted……
§ That people would be able talk to their computer to give commands by 2009. While still in the
early days in 2009, natural language interfaces like Apple’s Siri and Google Now have come a
long way
§ That computer displays would be built into eyeglasses for augmented reality by 2009. Labs and
teams were building head mounted displays well before 2009, but Google started
experimenting with Google Glass prototypes in 2011
¡ In 2005, he predicted……
§ That by the 2010s, virtual solutions would be able to do real-time language translation in which
words spoken in a foreign language would be translated into text that would appear as subtitles
to a user wearing the glasses. Well, Microsoft (via Skype Translate), Google (Translate), and
others have done this and beyond. One app called Word Lens actually uses your camera to find
and translate text imagery in real time.

33. ¡ By the late 2010s
§ Glasses will beam images directly onto the retina.
§ Ten terabytes of computing power (roughly the same as the human brain) will cost about
$1,000.
¡ By the 2020s
§ Most diseases will go away as nanobots become smarter than current medical technology
§ Normal human eating can be replaced by nanosystems
§ The Turing test begins to be passable
§ Self-driving cars begin to take over the roads, and people won’t be allowed to drive on highways
¡ By the 2030s
§ Virtual reality will begin to feel 100% real
§ We will be able to upload our mind/consciousness by the end of the decade
¡ By the 2040s
§ Non-biological intelligence will be a billion times more capable than biological intelligence
(a.k.a. us)
§ Nanotech foglets (self-reconfiguring modular robotics) will be able to make food out of thin air
and create any object in physical world at a whim
¡ By 2045
§ We will multiply our intelligence a billion fold by linking wirelessly from our neocortex to a
synthetic neocortex in the cloud.

35. ¡ 2018 – 2019: Self-driving cars let human drivers relax
behind the wheel
¡ 2019 – 2020: 5G connectivity becomes the norm, replacing
4G; traveling into space becomes a leisure activity;
eyewear comes equipped with tiny displays that project
into the wearer's retina
¡ 2026: Humans hand off household chores to domestic
robots
¡ 2030: Displays can be embedded into human skin and
powered by the blood
¡ 2034: Manned missions to Mars begin
¡ 2036 - 2037: Materials are transported from the surface of
the earth into space using an elevator-like structure
¡ 2037 - 2038: Anti-aging drugs make us all look young and
lovely forever

60. ¡ High Market Growth - CAGR 9% for last 40years
¡ Rapid technological innovation
¡ Need for huge amounts of capital to support
both growth and technological progress

61. ¡ Current market conditions and outlooks are mixed for the next few years, largely
because of the fragile global economic outlook
¡ The automotive and industrial markets for semiconductors offer significant
growth potential
§ The automotive market will be driven by the number of vehicles produced in Brazil, Russia,
India and China, and by an increase in the average semiconductor content per vehicle
§ The industrial sector is growing because of increasing energy demands, a continuing trend
toward renewable energies and the expansion of high-speed rail transportation
¡ Market Drivers
§ Data Processing application market à Tablet
§ Communications market à Smartphone
§ Consumer Electronics à Digital Set-Top-Boxes
¡ China will cement its dominant position and increase its market share of global
semiconductor sales to half of the worldwide market
¡ To meet global demands, global production capacity for semiconductors will
increase
¡ Overall production capacity is sustaining progress toward smaller feature sizes
and larger wafer diameters
¡ Operating profitability is back on the positive side of the ledger, except in the
memory and back-end processes subsectors, which face strong competition and
cycles of overcapacity
¡ Working capital is back to normal levels

62. ¡ Economies of scale and more technological
challenges are driving another wave of
acquisitions
¡ 3 main drivers for acquisitions:
§ Operational Synergies
§ Horizontal Critical mass
§ Vertical positioning

63. ¡ Employed in industries manufacturing electronic
equipment, research and development
¡ Marketing and sales jobs for electronic products are
another option
¡ Design, Implementation and testing in Semiconductor
Industry
¡ Algorithm design, testing and support engineer in
EDA companies (Tool companies)
¡ Electronic engineers who specialize in biomedical
equipment find employment with bioengineering
industries
¡ Market – Wearable Devices, Semiconductor and
Energy sector

64. ¡ Design Companies-Companies which design ASICs/ASSPs/ Microprocessors
§ MediaTek, Qualcomm, TI, ADI, Intel, AMD
§ BTech/MTech pass-outs with customized training (Industry ready)
¡ EDA Companies Company that provides the tools in the ASIC Flow.
§ Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor
§ BTech/MTech pass-outs trained with their company tools so that they can influence
indirectly the decisions made by the potential customers and mainly to reduce the
support cost as these set of trained engineers will “support themselves”
¡ Design Services Companies

§ Similar to Design Companies

65. n The basic skill required for a chip designer varies depending on the
domain that one desires to specialize in, but in general strong
background in electrical/electronics engineering and computer
engineering is essential.
n Since the advances in VLSI happen at a rapid pace, ability to quickly and
continuously learn is a must.
n In terms of specific skills, knowledge in following areas is required:
digital design fundamentals, VHDL/Verilog, simulation and synthesis
tools, computer architecture.
n To deal with the dearth of chip designers some companies are tying up
with institutes offering training in chip design. If you do not have enough
experience, you can take up a short-term course.
n Besides technical skills, it is equally important for an individual to work
on enhancing his/her soft skills. Cross cultural work environments,
demanding customers, deadlines and expanded job roles have made it
imperative for employees to possess skills that go beyond just technical
expertise.
n Effective communication skills, interpersonal skills, problem solving
abilities, customer orientation etc are important for an individual to
succeed in their roles.
