Indian semiconductor ecosystem: News, Updates & Discussions.

We already do that via Shakti for ISRO (RCI DRDO probably used them too) but they are made using old 180 nm technology.

Using advanced nodes for space and rockets are non ideal because there are higher non idealities such as diffusion of electrons between the source and drain of the MOSFETS and quantum switching of electrons between the gate and channel. For space 65 nm and above is ideal.
💯
That's what I'm pointing out that as ISM2 gets funded, they either need to have separate provisions or bake it in, so the baboozies don't later cut the funding for 65nm+ rad hardened apps.
 
You want Intel to give 18a to India? Ask Lawrence Livermore Labratory for transfer of W87 warhead while you're at it 🤣. Or Pratt and Whitney to transfer F135 technology to India.

The latter is more likely than Intel giving 18a and both are less than atomic diameter number distance from 0.

Didn't expect such a silly comment from you tbh.

First read about how advanced 2nm level production is and what intel had to go through go achieve that, and the supporting infrastructure, cost and ecosystem it takes to reach that level before daydreaming sir.
intel is not going to give 18a now lol, im talking about the 2030s ish when the 18a would be around 2 gens(maybe even 3) behind post sub 1nm silicon. Maybe then but it would be a stretch. The thing is that Intel wants to grow its fab buisness, Partnering with tata for a fab especially if the capital expenses are paid by Tata and the IND gov is not something intel would turn down then.

We first need to upgrade that PSMC fab to 14nm and then try to partner with someone for 7nm. Below 7nm depends on how much money India is willing to put into the fab. below 2nm is not going to come for a long time

This has been known for a long time, they've been waiting for ISM 2.0 to drop.
Another one is vedanta-innolux for the same TFT-LCD. No AMOLED fabs though.

Vedanta actually owns 98.7% of avanstrate which manufactures the glass substrates for TFT-LCD fabs.

The only AMOLED facility that I know of in India is the ARC AMOLED lab at IIT madras. Tata sons is the primary sponsor for this lab so the tech they gain from this lab can and will be used by Tata if its found to be viable.

India doesnt have anywhere close to the level of ecosystem for EUV level chips and will not have it for the next 10+ years.
