Driven by India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), India is poised to emerge as a global hub for electronics manufacturing and design. In March 2024, a commercial semiconductor fab and two Out Sourced Assembly and Testing (OSAT) facilities have been established with an investment of INR 1.25 Lakh Crore. These projects will produce chips with 28 nm, 40 nm and 90 nm long transistors. Heralding the rise of India’s semiconductor eco-system, these projects are expected to generate thousands of advanced technology jobs in the next couple of years. Along with silicon fabs, ISM is also supporting compound semiconductors like Gallium Nitride and Silicon Carbide to meet India’s defense, space and Electric Vehicle transportation needs. Moreover, apart from encouraging manufacturing, ISM is developing the chip design ecosystem as well. Start-ups in the field of design are being encouraged. By 2030, the global semiconductor demand will cross USD 1 trillion, one-tenth of which will be from India. In the above situation, a highly skilled workforce in fab, fabless and packaging is required to fulfil the objectives of ISM and cater to the emerging needs of all the stakeholders of the Indian semiconductor ecosystem. To develop such a workforce, the School of Electrical Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar has designed an advanced postgraduate program leading to an M.Tech. degree in Semiconductor Technology and Chip Design.
