LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

DOS, the Administrative Ministry is in the process of restructuring the company and as part of this exercise, a Society “Semi-Conductor Laboratory” has been formed by DOS under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. All the assets and liabilities of Semiconductor Complex Limited will be transferred to Semi-Conductor Laboratory for which necessary approval from the Competent Authority has been obtained. The shareholders of the Company & Members of the Society have also approved the same in their meeting(s) held on 18th November 2005 and 8th December 2005 respectively. Pursuant to the approval of the cabinet in its meeting held on 23rd February 2006 the Semiconductor Complex Limited will be wound-up voluntarily as per the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956.

SCL-LEADING INDIA'S EFFORT IN MICROELECTRONICS

                          

Subject has always been in sync with the future. It has understood and appreciated the needs of India, its people and its ever-growing industry. The last over 20 years tell the saga of Subject's contribution in leading the national effort in the vital areas of microelectronics.

  

Subject was set-up in 1983, in the green, unpolluted environs on the outskirts of Chandigarh - a city designed by the French architect Le Corbusier, just 250 Kms northwest of the Indian Capital New Delhi. With its objective to design, develop and manufacture VLSIs and VLSI based systems and sub systems, and to create a strong R&D base, Subject entered into a technical collaboration with American Microsystems Inc. USA and in 1984 commenced commercial production in 5 micron CMOS technology. Through intensive in-house R&D efforts Subject developed and productionised the next generation 3 micron, 2 micron, 1.2 micron as well as EEPROM and CCD technologies. More recently, the company has established the 0.8 micron CMOS technology at its modern 6" wafer fabrication facility. The company has over the years developed and manufactured a number of key VLSIs for the Telecom and Industrial sectors.


Subject's vertically integrated semiconductor operations offer design, wafer fabrication, testing, packaging, quality assurance and reliability testing, VLSI based system manufacturing and applications support all under one roof. Within this framework, Subject places a lot of emphasis on its semiconductor operations - consistently building on its specialization in areas like Mixed Signal Devices, Micro power Technology, Digital Signal Processing, etc. This fulfils the demand of its customers in focus areas without ignoring its growing base of customers in consumer and industrial electronics.


From single chip to total solutions, Subject is a one-stop microelectronics organization. Subject offers its customers total solutions by providing Standard/Application Specific Standard Products (ASSPs), designing chips from concepts and creating products around ASICs. Add to this the technical service support, the customers have remarkable flexibility to interact with Subject at any stage.

 

VLSI-The Core of ModERn Electronic Systems

 

A semiconductor "chip", or integrated circuit, is a fingernail-size piece of silicon layered precisely with circuitry. These tiny chips are the enablers of the Information Age, powering the electronic marvels that have changed the world so dramatically. As the world becomes increasing technology savvy, the demand for semiconductor IC's is growing.

 

Much of this demand growth can be attributed to three main drivers for the advanced chips: communications, consumer applications and computing. Practically, an integrated circuit is a collection of large number of transistors (generally MOS transistor) fabricated on a single piece of Silicon (called die). These transistors are arranged and interconnected in such a way that they all together perform desired functionality. This art and science of putting large number of transistors onto small silicon is called (VLSI) Very Large Scale Integration. Selectively doping and metal layering pure silicon wafers in special factories called "fabs" or fabrication plants make IC's. Often referred to as the most sophisticated manufacturing plants in the world, advanced fabs typically cost around a billion dollars to build and equip. Today, there are approximately 900 fabs around the world producing millions of chips every year.

 

SCL Fabrication Facility at SAS Nagar

 

But before fabrication, circuit design pattern on silicon needs to be defined i.e. the areas on silicon which will be processed should be clearly marked out and remaining areas be masked off. The whole process from specifications of the required IC to finally generating the masking (or unmasking) areas position data is known as VLSI Design. VLSI design is further segmented into "Front end design" and "Back end design". Since the number of transistors (or MOS devices) is too large to be handled manually, a number of EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools are used for performing the various VLSI design tasks.

 

India has been known worldwide as a country of highly professional and gifted IT professionals. Recognizing this fact, major global semiconductor companies like IBM, Philips, Analog Devices, Motorola, Cypress Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, ST Microelectronics, Cadence, MOS Chip Semiconductor, Alliance Semiconductor, Core EL Logic, Lucent Technologies, Sage Design, Infineon Technologies, Wipro Limited and many more MNCs have established their Design Houses in India. There is an ever-growing need at both Indian and MNCs to hire more VLSI design professionals to develop standard IP (Intellectual Property) cores and customized solutions for an ever-growing worldwide base of customers. Besides these, in more technology-friendly countries like USA and Japan, there is a growing dependence on India for skilled manpower to work on VLSI-design related activities.
