India’s efforts to build a stronger semiconductor ecosystem received a major boost with the inauguration of a state-of-the-art Semiconductor Training Fabrication Facility at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru. The facility, established at Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), was inaugurated by President Droupadi Murmu, seeks to provide hands-on training in manufacturing of semiconductors and fabrication of chips. The initiative aims to close the industry’s skills gap by preparing students, researchers and professionals for careers in the fast-growing semiconductor industry. The facility will be equipped with advanced fabrication technologies to support research, innovation and workforce development. Experts believe the center will play a key role in advancing India’s self-reliance drive in chip making and making the country a major player in the global electronics and chip manufacturing ecosystem.
