India is attempting to join the select countries which have capabilities to manufacture state-of-the-art semiconductor chips in the world. Recently, Government of India has approved two semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities (FABs) to be set up. Two consortia of investors and technology providers have responded to the Government of India’s expression of interest to set up FABs in India. These two consortia are:
1) M/s Jaypee Associates along with M/s IBM,USA and M/s Towerjazz, Israel. The proposed location is Greater Noida about 50 Kms from New Delhi.
2) M/s HSMC along with M/s ST Microelectronics, Geneva and M/s Silterra, Malaysia. The proposed location is Prantij, near Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
Government of India has responded to the demands of the two consortia by providing an attractive incentive package. The ground breaking for the FABs is expected during 2014 itself.
To showcase its commitment and determination to set up FABs in the country, Government of India has accepted the invitation from SEMI to participate in this year’s SEMICON WEST event along with industry partners. The event entitled “Connect with India: The Next Semiconductor Manufacturing Region” will be attended by senior officials of Government of India, along with representatives of the two FAB consortia and other industry in the semiconductor space from India.
The event will be held on Tuesday, July 8, 5:30pm to 7:30pm at Club Room, Atrium Level, San Francisco Marriott Marquis, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Since 1971, its first year, SEMICON West is the premier event for new products and technologies for microelectronics design and manufacturing across the microelectronics supply chain, from electronic design automation, to device fabrication (wafer processing), to final manufacturing (assembly, packaging, and test). More than semiconductors, SEMICON West is also showcase for emerging markets and technologies born from the microelectronics industry, including micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), photovoltaics (PV), flexible electronics and displays, nano-electronics, solid state lighting (LEDs), and related technologies.
SEMI is the global industry association serving the manufacturing supply chain for the micro- and nano-electronics industries, including Semiconductors, Photovoltaics (PV), High-Brightness LED, Flat Panel Display (FPD), Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), Printed and flexible electronics and related micro- and nano-electronics.
