Chip Foundry News Today

Tata Electronics, a company based in Bengaluru, India, has begun exporting small amounts of semiconductor chips. This is a significant step that could improve Indias ability to produce these important components. The chips are being packaged at a pilot production line located at Tata Electronics research and development center. This information comes from people with knowledge of the situation but who do not want to be identified publicly.

Tata Electronics: A second person said the company is also in near final stages for a successful tape-out of semiconductor chips in 28, 40, 55, 65 nm (nanometre), and some other higher nodes. A tape-out refers to the final result of the designing process for integrated circuits or printed circuit boards before they are sent for manufacturing.

Towers Indian chip foundry project is pegged at $9-10 billion, of which 50% will be subsidised by the Centre under the Indian Semiconductor Mission (ISM). States provide an additional 15-25% subsidy.

Government-backed Japanese chip foundry venture Rapidus is hunting high and low - including among industry veterans and overseas - to find engineers to help it revive a chip industry that was once the envy of the world. Underpinned by billions of dollars in subsidies, Rapidus aims to mass manufacture 2-nanometre logic chips, competing with industry leading companies such as Taiwan's TSMC, which has spent decades refining its processes. Securing engineers in a country with a declining popu...

Rapidus aims to manufacture cutting-edge chips in partnership with IBM and Belgium-based research organisation Imec.

The country is a leading provider of chipmaking tools and materials that lost its edge in manufacturing in recent decades and is now providing subsidies to chipmakers to build capacity.

Huawei is reportedly shipping new Chinese-made chips for surveillance cameras, indicating it is finding ways around US export controls.

Since the end of the Second World War, the US has been the 800-pound gorilla of the world economy – the largest in monetary terms, the largest producer, the largest innovator, the largest financial market. That dominance has been challenged in the last couple of decades, with the rise of China to become the world’s second-largest economy, the expansion of Taiwan’s semiconductor chip industry to global leadership, the ingenuity of South Korean tech firms – especially i...

Chinese chipmaker Hua Hong Semiconductor said on Sunday it aims to raise up to 21.2 billion yuan ($2.95 billion)in a listing on the Shanghai stock exchange. The country's second-largest chip foundry will sell 407.75 million shares priced at 52 yuan per share, it said in a statement to the exchange. The IPO by the chipmaker is set to be the biggest mainland listing this year.
