Chipset
30 scientists of the Indian Institute of Science (IISC) have submitted a detailed report to the government to develop Angstrom Scale Chip. This chip will be smaller than the current 3Nm silicone chip. In his report, the scientist has proposed the government about the new semiconductor material. This material is named 2D material, which will also be 10 times smaller than the current smallest silicone chip. After this chip is formed, India can gain dominance in the semiconductor market as well.
Small chip than silicon
Currently, America, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan dominate the sector of silicone based technology. The silicon chip made of these countries is used in almost all electronics devices.
According to the PTI report, a team of IISC scientists submitted a detailed project report (DPR) in April 2022 regarding the new material silicon chip, which was revised to re -submit in October 2024 last year. The report is later shared with the IT Ministry. The report claimed that this chip will be smaller to 10 times compared to the current smallest silicone chips.
2D materials will be used
The DPR promises that 2D semiconductor will use ultra thin materials such as graphine and transition metal dycalcosinides (TMD). These materials can deliver chip fabrication to the angstrom scale, which is much smaller than the Mastromer-Scale Technology.
Currently, companies like Samsung, MediaTek, Qualcomm are developing 3Nm (nanometer) chip. The government has been submitted a detailed report on this chip made of 2D materials, which can replace the silicone chip.
Government is considering proposal
Meity sources say that this proposal is being discussed. The IT ministry is positive about this proposal. Meety’s Principal Scientific Advisor and Secretary have recently held meetings about this. The ministry is considering electronics applications to deploy this technology.
At present, there is dependence on foreign companies for India’s semiconductor. It is a technology that is strategic for both economy and national security. Tata Electronics is working on the largest semiconductor project in India. For this, the company has partnered Taiwan with TSMC. This Tata project is worth Rs 91,000 crore.
