Japan's Renesas to design 3 nm semiconductor chips end-to-end in India

The three companies plan to invest more than ₹7,600 crore over the next five years in the Sanand OSAT unit, with a planned total capacity of up to 15 million chips being packaged per day.

Japanese semiconductor and electronics manufacturer Renesas India will be the first company to design 3 nanometer (nm) chips end-to-end in India, Union electronics and information technology minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Tuesday.

 

“So far, we have seen designs in 7 nanometers and 5 nanometers. This is the first time we will be getting into 3 nanometers. On the one hand, we are growing the electronics manufacturing industry at a double-digit CAGR (compound annual growth rate) which will create a lot of self-reliant solutions. At the same time, we are developing the semiconductor industry,” Vaishnaw said, speaking at the inauguration of
