Semiconductor centre to be co-located with Mohali Semi-Conductor Laboratory

The Mohali-based Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL) will be modernised and pivoted to drive innovation while the upcoming India Semiconductor Research Center (ISRC) would be co-located with it, said the Ministry of Electronics and Information technology (MeiTY).

This announcement was made today after the India Semiconductor R&D Committee handed over the report on the IRSC to the Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar.

“ISRC will be a core institution in India’s growing capabilities in semiconductors,” Chandrasekhar said, adding “This Centre will be the Indian equivalent of IMEC, Nano Tech, ITRI and MIT Micro-electronic labs, which have pioneered many cutting-edge technologies.”
