Study M.Tech. - Semiconductor Technology and Chip Design(STCD) @ IIT Bhubaneswar

Driven by India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), India is poised to emerge as a global hub for electronics manufacturing and design. In March 2024, a commercial semiconductor fab and two Out Sourced Assembly and Testing (OSAT) facilities have been established with an investment of INR 1.25 Lakh Crore. These projects will produce chips with 28 nm, 40 nm and 90 nm long transistors. Heralding the rise of India’s semiconductor eco-system, these projects are expected to generate thousands of advanced technology jobs in the next couple of years. Along with silicon fabs, ISM is also supporting compound semiconductors like Gallium Nitride and Silicon Carbide to meet India’s defense, space and Electric Vehicle transportation needs. Moreover, apart from encouraging manufacturing, ISM is developing the chip design ecosystem as well. Start-ups in the field of design are being encouraged. By 2030, the global semiconductor demand will cross USD 1 trillion, one-tenth of which will be from India. In the above situation, a highly skilled workforce in fab, fabless and packaging is required to fulfil the objectives of ISM and cater to the emerging needs of all the stakeholders of the Indian semiconductor ecosystem. To develop such a workforce, the School of Electrical Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar has designed an advanced postgraduate program leading to an M.Tech. degree in Semiconductor Technology and Chip Design. The program will cover design, fabrication, testing, and packaging of silicon and compound semiconductor devices and chips, and the development of IPs /ASICs /SoCs /Systems for targeted applications.

Director's Message

Semiconductor Technology has revolutionized our world, with the discovery of the transistor in 1947 and the invention of the Integrated Circuit or “Chip” in 1960. This is a materials oriented technology having several unique features. Unlike other materials like glass or steel, the semiconductor material is processed mostly in single crystal form in ultra-clean environments to yield high performing yet easy to use reliable products. Other materials have evolved via thousands of years of trial and error before they advanced scientifically over the last century. For semiconductors, science came first; the word “semiconductor” itself was coined in 1911. Hence, the theory of semiconductors tends to be abstract; moreover, its technology is highly interdisciplinary. IITs are foremost institutes of higher learning that can do justice to such an area. Moreover, they are expected to think globally, yet act locally. In response to the recently launched ambitious India Semiconductor Mission, and the global demand, IIT Bhubaneswar has developed an M.Tech program addressing fab, fabless, and packaging aspects of semiconductor technology.

Join us in making India the next global semiconductor hub !
