 INTRODUCTION

The need for constant connectivity has increased at a time of rapid technological change. But
it can be confusing, in particular for elderly people who may have little knowledge of the
intricate digital interfaces on their phones. I proudly present "Senior Cell", a groundbreaking
solution that meets the unique needs of older people whilst ensuring an easy and enjoyable
mobile experience, recognizing this need for simplicity and availability.
As I unveil Senior Cell, I embark on a journey to redefine the way seniors interact with cell
phones. The purpose of our mission is to bridge the gap between cutting edge technology and
user-friendly design so that senior citizens can connect easily with loved ones, engage in
digital life on their own terms. I have carefully designed every part of Senior Cell in such a
way that our solution is functional and user friendly, taking into consideration the challenges
faced by elderly people.

 PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE:
o RAW MATERIALS
 Metals
 Silicon Wafer
 Transistors

o LABOUR

The labour required for this business is as follows:

 Four semi-skilled workers


 Two skilled workers
 Four Technical workers

Manufacturing industries require a mix of skilled and unskilled labour (they will be
given proper training before their recruitment)

utilities

o TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM:

Transport of the phones will be done through FEDEX courier and communication
with the customer will be done through the company website and email.

o MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT:


Manufacturing an AI chip for a mobile phone is a complex process that involves
specialized equipment and facilities.
1. Ion Implantation Equipment:
 Used to implant ions into the wafer to create specific electrical properties.
2. Annealing Equipment:

5
 Used to heat and cool the wafer to activate dopants and repair crystal lattice
damage.
3. Lithography Equipment:
 Advanced optical or EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography machines are
used for high-resolution patterning.
4. Metrology and Inspection Equipment:
 These machines are used to measure and inspect the quality of the
semiconductor components.
5. Packaging and Testing Equipment:
 Once the chips are fabricated, they need to be packaged and tested for quality
and functionality. This includes automated testing equipment.
6. Automation and Robotics:
 Automated material handling systems and robotics are used extensively in
semiconductor manufacturing for wafer handling, equipment
loading/unloading, and quality control.
7. Environmental and Safety Systems:
 Environmental control systems ensure a controlled atmosphere in the clean
room, while safety systems protect personnel and the facility.
8. Process Control and Monitoring Systems:
 These systems help maintain consistent and precise manufacturing conditions.

Manufacturing AI chips involves advanced semiconductor fabrication techniques,


and the machinery required can vary depending on the specific design and process
technology used.
Cost= 9000 Dep= 2%

o PRODUCTION PROCESS:
The production process for making an AI (Artificial Intelligence) chip, also known
as an AI accelerator or AI hardware, involves several stages. Here are the steps in
the production process:

Design and Architecture:

The process begins with the design of the AI chip's architecture. This involves
defining the chip's functions, features, and specifications.

Logic Design:
Engineers create a detailed logical design of the chip.

Mask Creation:
A set of masks is created based on the logical design.

Wafer Manufacturing:
Silicon wafers are produced using a process called photolithography.

Wafer Testing:

6
The wafers are tested to identify any defects or faults. Defective wafers are
discarded, while the good ones proceed to the next steps.

Packaging:
The good wafers are cut into individual chips. These chips are then packaged into
protective casings, which can vary in size and shape depending on the intended
use.

Assembly and Testing:


The packaged chips are assembled onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) or modules.
The assembled units are rigorously tested to ensure they meet the required
performance and quality standards.

Programming and Firmware:


The AI chips are programmed with the necessary firmware and software drivers.

Quality Control:
The final AI chips undergo extensive quality control checks to ensure they meet
the specified standards for reliability, power efficiency, and performance.

Packaging and Distribution:


Once the AI chips pass all quality checks, they are packaged for distribution to
manufacturers of AI devices or integrated into custom hardware solutions.
