Chinese DRAM maker CXMT announced that its fifth‑generation memory‑chip platform has entered mass production, marking a claimed breakthrough for China’s domestic semiconductor sector. The new process tightens feature spacing to 11.95 nm using quadruple patterning, enabling higher density and lower power consumption. CXMT unveiled two 24‑gigabit LPDDR5X chips built on the platform, each offering 50 % more capacity than its predecessors and already in volume output. The company, listed on Shanghai’s STAR Market, says the technology will provide electronics [...]

India is transitioning from a technology importer to a creator, with public research institutions, corporate R&D, and deep‑tech startups driving growth in semiconductors, communications, space, and healthcare. Patent filings have risen, and indigenous products are emerging, yet R&D spending remains low and commercialisation weak. Talent shortages and limited research capacity hinder full market penetration. Government policy pushes for innovation, but stronger industry‑research links, technology transfer mechanisms, and support for frontier technologies are needed to close gaps and [...]

The three‑day SEMICON India 2026 concluded with 45 memorandums of understanding and a record 600 participating companies, including 300 international firms. Government officials announced that the next edition, tentatively scheduled for March 2028, will expand to include electronics companies using “Made‑in‑India” chips and partner with the India Mobile Congress. Ajit Manocha of SEMI and Amitesh Kumar Sinha of MeitY highlighted the event’s role in fostering joint ventures, technology partnerships, and ecosystem collaboration. The 2026 conference attracted about [...]

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma urged investors to tap the state’s growing semiconductor ecosystem during SEMICON India 2026, spotlighting the Tata Electronics OSAT plant in Jagiroad slated to begin operations in December. The facility will assemble, test, and package chips with a projected capacity of 48 million units daily, creating roughly 27,000 direct and indirect jobs. Sarma highlighted Assam’s strategic position as a gateway to Southeast Asia and the ASEAN market, and pledged government policies and institutional [...]

In December 2021, India’s government launched SEMICON 1.0 with a ₹76,000‑crore investment, establishing a framework for domestic semiconductor and display manufacturing. By 2026, twelve semiconductor units were approved, and five entered commercial production, marking India’s first chip‑making milestone. The initiative enabled 24 chip‑design projects worth ₹900 crore, supplied advanced tools to over 100,000 engineers, and produced more than 300 designs. International agreements with the US, Japan, EU, Singapore, and the Netherlands, plus joining Pax Silica, positioned India as a [...]
