Strengthening Semiconductor Manufacturing Practices in India: A Strategic Role for Government, Academia and Industry with The global semiconductor industry is set to exceed $1 trillion by 2030, and India is positioning itself as a crucial player in this strategic domain. With strong policy initiatives like the Semiconductor Mission and growing demand across electronics, automotive, and defense sectors, the time is ripe to build robust capacities in semiconductor manufacturing and design. While infrastructure and investments are vital, the true competitive edge will come from building a skilled workforce. This is where collaboration between government, academia, and industry becomes essential. Current Challenges: • Limited semiconductor fabrication facility within India. • Lack of dedicated training facilities focused on cleanroom operations, wafer fabrication, IC packaging, testing, and design processes. • Talent gap between academic education and industry-ready skills. Strategic Approach for Workforce Development A long-term, coordinated approach is needed to cultivate a talent base. This includes: • Specialized Training Centers: Establish national and regional centers funded by government and supported by academia, dedicated to hands-on training in advanced semiconductor processes. • Public-Private Partnerships: Link training programs with semiconductor companies for real-world exposure and research opportunities. • University Curriculum Upgrades: Introduce semiconductor-specific programs at undergraduate and postgraduate levels alongside short-term vocational certifications. • Faculty Development: Institute global exchange programs for professors and researchers with leading semiconductor hubs like Taiwan, South Korea, and the USA. • Skill Certification Frameworks: Create standardized certifications aligned with international semiconductor industry benchmarks. The Road Ahead: For India to emerge as a global semiconductor hub, scaling up skilled talent pools is equally important as setting up fabs and foundries. Government and academia must jointly lead this mission by creating enduring training centers that tie education to employability and innovation. Semiconductors are the brain of digital transformation, and India's vision of becoming self-reliant will depend on how effectively we build future-ready workforce capabilities. #SemiconductorIndustry #MakeInIndia #DigitalTransformation #SkillDevelopment #SemiconductorManufacturing #FutureOfWork #InnovationInIndia 💬 Loved this?

India’s Semiconductor Mission – A Defining Moment for Engineering Talent Recently, The Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated Semicon India 2025, reaffirming India’s vision of semiconductor self-reliance. His words are a powerful reminder that India is not just participating but is determined to lead in shaping the future of semiconductors. With a projected domestic semiconductor market of $100–110 billion by 2030, India is steadily progressing from backend work to becoming a full-stack semiconductor nation. Programs like Chips to Startup (C2S) by MeitY are already creating pathways, aiming to train 85,000 specialists in VLSI and Embedded Systems Design over the next five years. However, while the opportunities are immense, a persistent academic–industry gap remains. When we conduct entrance exams for our VLSI & Embedded training programs at MosChip® Academy, we often find that many graduates—even from ECE/EEE/EIE/CSE backgrounds—struggle with fundamental concepts such as resistance, capacitance, or basic digital logic gates. This reflects a larger challenge: lack of career clarity, inadequate preparation, and limited exposure to real-world design practices. At MosChip Academy of Silicon Systems and Technologies (MAST), we see it as our responsibility to bridge this gap. Our commitment is three-fold: ✅ Strengthen Fundamentals – helping students revise and apply the core principles of electronics and digital design. ✅ Provide Industry-Grade Training – giving access to EDA tools, SoC/ASIC flows, and project-based learning that mirrors global semiconductor design practices. ✅ Shape Careers, Not Just Jobs – by mentoring aspirants to align with India’s semiconductor roadmap and explore opportunities in startups, R&D, and global semiconductor companies. We believe the best time for VLSI and semiconductor aspirants is now. With the government’s strong push, industry demand at an all-time high, and India positioning itself as a trusted global hub, the stage is set for ambitious engineers to rise. At MosChip Academy of Silicon Systems and Technologies (MAST), we are proud to play our part in this transformation—preparing India’s engineers to design chips that will power the world and ensuring that India’s smallest chip can indeed drive the biggest global change. #VLSI #Chip #DesignIndia #Semiconductor #Design & #Verification #Embedded #Systems and #IoTIndia #ASIC & #FPGADesign #Professionals #SoC/ #ASIC #Design #EngineersVLSI / #DigitalDesign #EngineersNetwork

Join us for the Real Intent Workshop at DVCon U.S.. on the Expanding Role of Static Signoff in Functional Verification, with a special focus on glitch detection, connectivity, and security. (Thursday Feb 27th, Donner 11-12:30pm PST, DoubleTree Hotel San Jose) Traditional simulation and formal verification methods rely heavily on boolean analysis, often leading to significant resource demands, slow analysis times, and capacity limitations. In contrast, static signoff employs abstract checking techniques, enabling early functional verification to overcome these limitations. During the workshop, we will demonstrate how Real Intent's static signoff technology delivers effective, efficient, and accurate results for early RTL design and signoff. -> Focus on Glitch Detection We will showcase real-world examples of glitch-induced design failures identified by Real Intent's team, including: - Glitches in asynchronous clock domain paths - Glitches in reset paths - Glitches in synchronous multi-cycle paths - Glitches in power domain crossing paths and isolation signals - Glitches at digital-to-analog interfaces We will analyze each glitch type through detailed block diagrams, illustrating the identification, verification, and resolution processes. -> SafeConnect for Advanced Connectivity Verification - Conditional Connectivity Checking: Validating configurations like padmuxing. - System and Configuration Registers: Validating connectivity and propagation of register values. - Interrupt Verification: Ensuring critical one-to-one connectivity through specific sequential cells. - Power Logic Connectivity: Validating correct power signal connections. - Interconnect Reachability: Ensuring that signals can reach their intended destinations. A standout feature of SafeConnect is its negative testing capability, enabling verification not only of correct connections but also ensuring that certain masters are not connected to specific slaves—a critical aspect often overlooked by other methods. Sentry for Hardware Security Signoff Spectre and Meltdown Mitigation: Sentry detects and addresses speculative execution vulnerabilities in x86, RISC-V, and ARM architectures, ensuring secure processor operation. Hardware Roots of Trust: Validates critical security features, including: Secure Boot: Ensures encrypted and authenticated assets remain protected. Secure Enclave: Guarantees hardware isolation to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and side-channel attacks. Advanced Encryption Standards (AES) and Crypto Cores: Verifies AES-based cores for secure communications and data protection, ensuring that exposed signals do not compromise security. Sentry redefines hardware security verification, making it an indispensable tool for RTL signoff. Integrating Sentry into your security workflow is key to ensuring robust, reliable design outcomes.
