Design: Building India&#8217;s Intellectual Property (IP)<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"7\">The first pillar focuses on transforming India from a chip design services hub into a creator of globally competitive semiconductor intellectual property.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"8\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">What it includes:<\/b> Development of indigenous chip architectures, support for fabless semiconductor startups, creation of reusable semiconductor IP blocks, System-on-Chip (SoC) development, and the expansion of the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Why it matters:<\/b> India already has a large pool of semiconductor engineers working for global technology companies. Semicon 2.0 aims to ensure that more chips are designed, developed, and owned by Indian companies, strengthening technological self-reliance while creating new export opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"9\">2. Machines and Materials: Strengthening the Supply Chain<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"10\">Semiconductor manufacturing depends on highly specialized equipment, chemicals, industrial gases, silicon wafers, and ultra-pure materials.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"11\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Focus Areas:<\/b> Semiconductor manufacturing equipment, silicon wafers, specialty chemicals, industrial gases, precision manufacturing tools, and advanced materials research.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Why it matters:<\/b> Building domestic capabilities in these critical inputs reduces dependence on imports, improves supply chain resilience, and helps India become a reliable partner in the global semiconductor ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"12\">3. More Semiconductor Fabs<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"13\">Fabrication plants, commonly known as fabs, are where semiconductor chips are manufactured on silicon wafers.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"14\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Semicon 2.0 supports:<\/b> Silicon semiconductor fabs, compound semiconductor fabs, display fabrication units, discrete semiconductor manufacturing facilities, and the rapid expansion of domestic chip production capacity.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Expected Impact:<\/b> The programme is designed to attract new domestic and international investments while accelerating India&#8217;s emergence as a global semiconductor manufacturing destination.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"15\">4. Advanced Packaging (ATMP\/OSAT)<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"16\">Once chips are manufactured, they must be assembled, tested, packaged, and prepared for commercial use.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"17\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Core Concepts:<\/b> <b data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"15\">ATMP<\/b> (Assembly, Testing, Marking, and Packaging) and <b data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"68\">OSAT<\/b> (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Objectives:<\/b> Promote advanced chip packaging technologies, develop next-generation packaging capabilities, increase semiconductor exports, and build an integrated manufacturing ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Importance:<\/b> Advanced packaging has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the semiconductor industry, particularly with the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and data center technologies.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"18\">5.

Semicon 2.0 expands this vision horizontally and vertically, shifting the focus toward building a comprehensive, end-to-end local ecosystem that covers the entire value chain\u2014raw materials, specialized gases, domestic intellectual property (IP) blocks, advanced packaging (ATMP\/OSAT), and deep-tier academic research.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"34\">What do ATMP and OSAT stand for, and why are they vital?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"35\"><b data-path-to-node=\"35\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">ATMP<\/b> stands for Assembly, Testing, Marking, and Packaging; <b data-path-to-node=\"35\" data-index-in-node=\"59\">OSAT<\/b> stands for Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test. They form the critical post-fabrication stage where raw silicon wafers are cut into individual dice, tested for defects, and encased in protective packaging. Because of the global AI hardware boom and high-performance computing needs, advanced packaging has become a high-margin bottleneck that India is actively capitalizing on.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"36\">How does the Machines and Materials pillar reduce external supply chain vulnerabilities?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"37\">Semiconductor production is highly susceptible to geopolitical shocks affecting raw materials. By subsidizing localized plants for specialty gases, ultra-pure chemicals, and precision tool manufacturing, India protects its multi-billion-dollar fabs from global logistics delays, creating a self-sustaining manufacturing loop.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"39\">Disclaimer<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"40\"><i data-path-to-node=\"40\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">This article is published in alignment with editorial frameworks for educational and informational analysis regarding India\u2019s industrial tech policies.
