Indian Electronics and Semiconductor manufacturing industry

[Haldilal]

Soviets were far behind west always during 20th century. They did produce copies of whatever they could source from East German side but far far behind in electronics.

Most of their stuff was still electromechanical in even 1980s. They had time clocks for their space stations made using vacuum tubes compared to very lighter ones made from IC in west.

Ya'll Nibbiars in the computer they were headed in the 60s. And the western university mass funding stared in the 60s only due to this fear that the Soviet will ovre take them in the computers till then most of the computer research was aligned to the military funded projects.

Thailand has Fab since long time. They are leader in producing Hard Disks after Japan.

When did NK had Fab plant?? Is it in the tech zone setup by SK?

Ya'll Nibbiars The Mleechas helped thems. And they had the Semiconductor plant since 1960s due to the Soviet help they were leader them even head of the Amerikan. And only due to the Brezhnevs policies destroyed the Soviet computer Industry in the early 70s.

Not 90s but 80s. There was a Semi conductor Rush in South-East Asia during 1980s. Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and many other countries got some part of the pie.

Even India managed to call few players and SCL was setup, however the political environment was not stable and Indian Semiconductor plans fell in disarray.

Ya'll Nibbiars it was not till 90s that the planst started to functions. And they do only Packaging and testing not manufacturing.

cant find any source for 22 NM , only source i can find says its 3000 nm . i doubt North korea can really make anything.

Ya'll Nibbiars they have all due to the mleechas.

The only superiority Soviets had was to make the copies of EU made computer in bulk but rather with vacuum tube and poor quality circuit boards.
They fell behind the race by 70s.

Ya'll they were making tranistors computers in late 50s and by late 60s already transited to the semi conductor but due to brenzen all the development stoppeds.

Ya'll Nibbiars the Soviet lack of common standards doomed the Industry's in the 70s.

SCL has been actively moving up in the ladder when an unexpected fire destroys their production facilities and it pushes them back a solid 5-6 years back and when they came back everyone move forward. From there they were simply a loss making PSU which was handed over to ISRO to develop IC for space and defence related purpose. Currently they can manufacture 160 nm nodes. But still they are suffering from sustainable production rate. What GOI can do is to provide them some fund to make 160 nm and 130 nm nodes and build and make them in sustainable production.

 

[Haldilal]

Ya'll Nibbiars The Elbrus Main Frame super computer 1969s moscow, USSRs. And it ueds 20 bit the same as used in the F 14 Tomcat computer. And only in 1973 the Intel developed the 8 bit processor developed for the BOSCOM print Calculators.

The BESM 6, 1964. And it used early Intergated Circuts Semi Conductors.

 

[Hari Sud]

Ya'll Nibbiars they are no Amerika to make the mistake most of their manufacturing site are in the registered country and only Processing, Tesing, Packaging facilities in other countries. And they are busy already Investing in other countries. And are we ready to provide 15 to 20 years tax breaks like Malaysia did in the early 90s?. And like that they have Semi Conductors Industry's there and even also manufacturing units. And along with low interest loans?. Almost covering half of the total Invetsments?.

The Texas provideded half of the 20 billion dollars for the new Samsung facility with subsidized loans through various banks. And plus 15 years tax holidays. And no restrictions in labour or Financials. The local county provides relief in local taxes and the state government ensured fixed low cost electric supply for undisclosed numbers of years with reductions in the water taxes. And of course subsidized land. And even after the tax breaks tue taxes would be lower than other manufactur8ng firms. We need more to attract that's. And Vandata demanded still not approved. And of you think vendata demands are illegaamat then we couldn't ever have a Semi Conductors Industry's. And vendata is asking for land under lease for some 50 plus years. Not asking to give free of costs. And electricity and water at subsidized rate for number of years. And leave alone 28 NM even if we get 90 NM or even 45 NM that would be great as most of non computation devices uses this and even for defence purposes this are enough. And also LED and other silicon related industries Invetsment would mean we succeeded

‘Over stated benefits of other countries…./… Most countries offer tax benefits but not cash rewards. The decision to invest in which countries and what type of chip to be made there is mostly a political decision. If US wishes Taiwan to ask for recognition in return for low/middle end chip manufacture, then it is not worth it.

Also final chip manufacture and quality control is one final area of this whole chip production process. The First phase is production of Silicon wafers. That is Japanese speciality. They control 90% of the wafer manufacture. The Second phase in design and development. In this India has a significant contribution, although Intel and others have refrained from giving India this aspect, fully. For this there is no US approval. Hence no matter how much money is spent by India to grab the final manufacture phase, the final go ahead has to come from US. Let me remind you that TCMS in Taiwan is without Silicon wafer production and have no design and development capability.

Ya'll Nibbiars once facilities come designed will also comes first we need to start with the Fabricatons, Processing and Testing no one is even taking about Manufacturing in first case. The Tata Instrument 3,000 crores there for now the rest will come we we start the production and for Non computation electronics that not a problems. Many IDMs specializing in its done by themselves or there Broadcomms, Analog Devices and others.

Semiconductor consortium ISMC plans $3bn chip fab in India

Co-partner Tower Semiconductor is set to be acquired by Intel, giving it a presence in India

International semiconductor consortium ISMC plans to invest $3 billion in a chip fab in Karnataka, India.
ISMC is a joint venture between Abu Dhabi-based Next Orbit Ventures and Israel’s Tower Semiconductor, with the latter company in the midst of being acquired by Intel for $5.4bn.
ISMC plans to build a 65-nanometer analog semiconductor fabrication factory, which is expected to employ 1,500 people over seven years. Another 10,000 jobs will be supported indirectly.
The consortium will develop the factory on 150 acres of land in Mysuru’s Kochanahalli Industrial area, in Karnataka, a state in the south western region of India.
ISMC expects to help fund the development with state funds, as part of the Indian government's $10 billion semiconductor and display incentive plan.
Indian conglomerate Tata Group is planning to invest up to $300 million on a semiconductor assembly and test unit, thanks to government subsidies. Earlier this year, Foxconn and India’s Vedanta Group partnered to build chips in the country. The scale of the investment has yet to be disclosed, but the joint venture is believed to be talking with states about a $20bn chip and display investment over a number of years.
The federal government is also in talks with TSMC, Intel, GlobalFoundries and other semiconductor giants about potential fabs.

On The Semiconductor Train: India's First Chip Plant to Be Built in Karnataka with ISMC's $3B Investment

The Karnataka government said at the weekend that a joint venture between Abu Dhabi-based Next Orbit Ventures and Israel’s Tower Semiconductor, the International Semiconductor Consortium (ISMC), will invest $3 billion in the southern state to build India’s first chip manufacturing plant.

This news comes after the SemiconIndia Conference 2022 ended on May 1 which began on April 29 with an aim to serve as a springboard for India’s aspiration to become a worldwide semiconductor hub and to nurture the chip design and manufacturing ecosystem.

The latest announcement by Karnataka state authorities implies that the government’s incentive system to turn India into a semiconductor hub is starting to bear fruit. According to a tweet from the state’s investment promotion office, India’s first semiconductor fabrication unit is estimated to create more than 1,500 direct jobs and 10,000 indirect ones.

American chip giant Intel recently revealed its intention to buy Tower Semiconductor.

Karnataka’s chief minister’s office shared a tweet on May 1 in which it said: “Karnataka Government and ISMC @BSBommai Fab Pvt Ltd signed a memorandum of understanding for the construction of the country’s first semi-conductor Fab Plant in Karnataka today.”

According to the tweet, the memorandum of understanding was signed by the founder and managing partner at Next Orbit Ventures, Ajay Jalan, in the presence of Karnataka CM Basavaraja Bommai and other government officials.

“This MoU is significant amid the competition among various states to attract semiconductor fabrication units. Karnataka understands that it’s not just the fiscal incentives that matter but the availability of conducive ecosystem and overall ease in operations are also important,” said CM Bommai.

However, for the plant, the chip makers’ consortium has asked 150 acres of land in Mysuru’s Kochanahalli Industrial area.

ISMC and Vedanta, a domestic metals-to-energy conglomerate, have applied for India’s incentives for semiconductor and display businesses to set up facilities in the country.

Meanwhile, Vedanta reportedly said that it was in “advanced” discussions" with Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Telangana to select a site by mid-May. It intends to invest $20 billion in its semiconductor and display initiatives.


IT minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, while addressing SemiconIndia India 2022 said that by next year April or May India may see its first semiconductor unit.

During the conference, the minister also said: “We understand that many countries are offering incentives. But what we offer, along with substantial incentives, is a commitment to create and augment our talent pool by 85,000 semiconductor professionals over the next ten years."

“These will be industry-ready professionals and we have already tied up with global institutions,” he added.

Separately, union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, during her recent visit to the United States, urged American semiconductor companies such as AMD, Western Digital, and Micron Tech to increase their investments in India, taking advantage of a Rs 76,000-crore production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for multinational chip makers.

The central government has also asked GlobalFoundries and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) to expand their operations in India.

However, despite the fact that the government has yet to finalise the PLI scheme’s beneficiaries, sources from the ministry of electronics and IT say the final selection of companies will be made after a thorough examination of all factors, including investments, and technology partners, and manufacturing roadmaps.

The Centre will provide financial support of up to 50% of project cost for at least two semiconductor and two display fabs for a minimum of six years under the production-linked incentive plan. Others, such as compound semiconductors and sensor fabs, will receive a 30% tax break.

From $15 billion in 2020, India’s semiconductor market is expected to expand to $63 billion by 2026.

Additional Chief Secretary in the Department of IT, BT Dr EV Ramana Reddy on behalf of Karnataka and ISMC director Ajay Jalan signed the MoU in the presence of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.

“Karnataka is pioneer and leader in IT & BT, Startups and now in Semiconductor manufacturing. This is the breakthrough into new Era which will help in manufacturing of electronic products and automobiles and make India to be Aatmanirbhar,” Bommai tweeted recently, lauding the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This is in line with Central Government’s India Semiconductor Mission, which aims to drive India's long term strategies for developing semiconductors and display manufacturing facilities and the semiconductor design ecosystem.

Karnataka: A premier investment destination

The MoU with ISMC will make Karnataka the place to look forward to in semiconductor technology, With robust policies, a committed team, best-in-class infrastructure, and an ever-increasing talent pool of workers, Karnataka is on its way to becoming a premier investment destination Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said in his address, after the signing of the MoU.

Calling this a significant MoU for the state amid the competition among various states to attract semiconductor fabs Bommai said, “Karnataka understands that it’s not just the fiscal incentives that matter but the availability of a conducive eco-system and overall ease in operations are also important. The state has one of the best infrastructures in the country and an abundant skilled talent pool”

“As a state, we are not just trying to bring down the entry barriers for businesses but also make it easier to exit businesses, should it be so required,” he added.



Multiplier effects

“We are happy to support global firms to set up manufacturing facilities here. Semiconductor production in Karnataka will provide further impetus to the economy of the state,” said Dr C N Ashwath Narayan, State Minister for Higher Education.

It is reported that the company has requested 150 acres of land in Mysuru’s Kochanahalli Industrial area and is set to fully implement the project over the next 7 years. This MoU has also provided a forum for technology and cultural exchange between Israel and India.

The project is expected to generate more than 1500 direct and 10,000 indirect employment opportunities and ancillary semiconductor ecosystem industry development in the area with significant multiplier effects.

E V Ramana Reddy said the uptick in Indian investment in semiconductors coincides with the global demand for semiconductors amid a shortage expected to run through 2025.

“We have suggested an Electronics and Systems Design cluster in Mysuru as the investment destination for ISMC,” said Reddy.

Semicon India-2022

The investment comes at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently urged the industry to make India a global hub for semiconductors, in his inaugural address at the Semicon India-2022 conference in Bengaluru, on 29th April.

There was a collective aim to establish India as one of the key partners in global semiconductor supply chains and position India on the Semiconductor map of the world and build a vibrant semiconductor innovation and manufacturing ecosystem.

Modi said India has an exceptional semiconductor design talent pool which makes up to 20 per cent of the world's semiconductor design engineers. Almost all of the top 25 semiconductor design companies have their design or R&D centres in the country.

It is to be noted that India has received investment proposals from five global Semicon majors to set up semiconductor fabs and display fabs locally in India, which was revealed at the conference. The proposals received so far are to the tune of $20.5 billion in the greenfield segment of display and semiconductor chip manufacturing.
