Technology Vision 2019SemiconductorTHE DUALITY OF TECHNOLOGY2 THE DUALITY OF TECHNOLOGYNew technologies impact industries across the board. But in the semiconductor industry, the very technologies disrupting the way companies operate are the same technologies they will use to create new products and businesses.Now is the time for semiconductor companies to take a strong position and proactively define the next generation of technology—in a dual role, as customer and producer.2 THE DUALITY OF TECHNOLOGY3 THE DUALITY OF TECHNOLOGYFive trends shape the near future: TREND 1: DARQ POWERTREND 2: GET TO KNOW METREND 3: HUMAN+ WORKERTREND 4: SECURE US TO SECURE METREND 5: MY MARKETSUnderstanding the DNA of DARQ Nine out of 10 semiconductor companies are experimenting with DARQ technologies already. DARQ technologies will not only change the semiconductor industry as they are applied by semiconductor companies, they will also drive business growth. Blockchain/Distributed ledger technology is centered on driving improvements to business operations, via data provenance and faster traceability as well as enablement of compute and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. AI and extended reality will require custom chips. And quantum computing will introduce an entirely new universe of compute engineering.Unlock unique consumers and opportunities As silicon technology becomes commoditized, semiconductor companies are looking for ways to differentiate. Offering silicon-as-a-service, participating in platforms, is one way to do that. As chips become more specific in nature for targeted applications, semiconductor companies want to own a connected asset capability, versus just a piece of hardware.To do that successfully, they’ll have to know their customers inside and out—predicting and anticipating needs before they even occur.Change the workplace or hinder the workforce Even as the workforce evolves at a rapid pace, most semiconductor companies are optimized for the workforce of the past. Moving to a digital workplace requires a workforce with digital skills.Enterprises aren’t victims, they’re vectors Large semiconductor companies are working to embed security into their chips and their ecosystems, knowing they are a critical link to national security as well as that of private citizens.Meet consumers’ and organizations’ needs at the speed of nowCustom chips, chiplets and 5G are essential in a world of intensely customized and on-demand customer experiences. As nontraditional competitors change the semiconductor playing field, incumbents are in a race to remain relevant to their customer base.4 THE DUALITY OF TECHNOLOGYTREND 1DARQ POWERNew technologies are catalysts for change, offering extraordinary new business capabilities. Distributed ledger technology, artificial intelligence (AI), extended reality (XR) and quantum computing will be the next set of new technologies to spark a step change, letting businesses reimagine entire industries.DARQ technologies will not only change the semiconductor industry as they are applied, they will also drive business growth.
