India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 will prioritise indigenous chip design and their productisation, attracting ecosystem partners and development of talent, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Saturday.
The minister said the government will continue to work on setting up semiconductor manufacturing plants and target to produce chips as small as 2-nanometer node.
“In Semicon 2.0, the topmost priority will be design companies. Design companies, design startups who can design a product, take it to the market, become the next Qualcomm from India, hopefully get that huge innovation, that entire energy which is there in our startups into deep tech. That will be a focus area,” Vaishnaw said.
He was speaking at a Qualcomm event here to announce 2 nanometer chip of the company which has been developed in India. The minister said the government will focus on getting the entire ecosystem in the country under ISM 2.0. He said the government will look at getting on board equipment manufacturers, chemical manufacturers, gas manufacturers and the people who improve yield.
“The third focus will be talent. We have been able to create that talent pipeline. The base is very wide now,” said Vaishnaw.
