The ‘Semi-conductors are playing a critical role in the world in more ways than we can imagine. It is our collective aim to establish India as one of the key partners in global semi-conductor supply chains’ – PM Shri Narendra Modi.
‘We are investing heavily in skilling and training young Indians for the needs of the 21st century. We have 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 our country’ – PM Shri Narendra Modi
Semicon India program (with a total outlay of 76,000 crore) is aimed at the development of semiconductor and display manufacturing ecosystem in India.
The programme provides for financial support to companies investing in semiconductors, display manufacturing and design ecosystem.
In line with Semicon India program, the Chips to Startup (C2S) programme aims to train 85,000 engineers (Bachelors, Masters and Research level combined) qualified in ESDM disciplines over a period of 5 years. Necessary tie-ups with 82 technical education institutes have been made.
IIT Hyderabad had launched B. Tech (Electronics Engineering) specialization in IC Design and Technology last year
About IC and VLSI
An integrated circuit (also called IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or chip). An IC is the fundamental building block of all modern electronic devices. Very large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining many metal oxide silicon transistors onto a single chip.
