It’d been nearly a year since India has announced its ambitious $10 billion plan to kickstart semiconductor production in the country. Advertisement“Today, the state government of Assam in partnership with the Tata group will make Assam a major player in sophisticated semiconductors. But the real breakthrough, and the crown jewel in many ways, is the chip fabrication plant that the Tatas are setting up as it signifies a big step up in India’s production capabilities. Fabs are the highly specialised semiconductor manufacturing facilities that print the miniaturised integrated circuits from the chip design into the silicon wafers. The fabrication process is intricate and requires clean rooms designed to maintain sterile conditions to prevent contamination by air particles.
