Semiconductor Chip Production - A Strategic Necessity for India

Rahul Shashaank Nath

Abstract: A semiconductor chip is an electric circuit with many components such as transistors and wiring formed on a semiconductor wafer. These chips have been used in a variety of electronic products and are very essential in our everyday life. This paper focuses on the need for India to set-up industrial-scale semiconductor wafer fabrication (FAB) units and develop self-reliance to meet the import challenges with the changing geopolitical scenario.
