India’s Semiconductor Leap: Scientists Propose Next-Gen Chip Technology

Indian scientists have submitted a detailed project report to the government, outlining plans to develop cutting-edge semiconductor materials that could revolutionize chip manufacturing. The proposal, led by a team from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), focuses on creating angstrom-scale chips using advanced 2D materials like graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides.  

 

The initiative aims to surpass existing silicon-based technologies, positioning India as a leader in the post-silicon era. The project seeks funding of Rs 500 crore over five years to establish indigenous semiconductor technology, reducing reliance on foreign manufacturers.  

 

Key Highlights:  

With global interest in 2D materials growing, India’s push for next-generation semiconductor technology could pave the way for breakthroughs in computing and electronics.
