tatas Rope in Globalfoundries Senior KC Ang to Head dholera chip fab

NEW DELHI: TATA Semiconductor Manufacturing, a subsidiary of Tata Electronics Private Ltd, has appointed senior semiconductor industry head KC Ang to be responsible for the group’s semiconductor foundry business.

In partnership with Taiwan’s PowerChip Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (PSMC), the center’s Indian semiconductor foundry announced a $10 billion chip foundry project, the company announced a $10 billion chip foundry project, the company announced a $10 billion chip foundry project, which has announced a $10 billion chip foundry project, thus breaking into the center’s Indian semiconductor chip manufacturing industry. Ang has nearly thirty years of work experience and will lead the group’s chip manufacturing business.

Tata Electronics said in a statement Wednesday that ANG had served as president of Asian markets at Globalfoundries, a chip manufacturing company based in the U.S..

GlobalFoundries is the fifth largest semiconductor manufacturing company in the world by quantity as of fiscal year 24, accounting for 5% of the world’s chip market, according to a report by market researchers.

Randhir Thakur, managing director and CEO of Tata Electronics, said ANG will “drive the manufacturing business and work closely with our customers and ecosystem partners.” He added that the company is “steadily improving in the beginning of operations of our Dholera Fab”.

“Fab” or Foundry refers to a factory that produces data processing chips from silicon wafers. Chip Fabs is often one of the most complex and complex factories in the world, requiring high capital investment, unlimited and uninterrupted water and electricity supply, and a skilled labor capable of running automated chip machinery with the highest efficiency.

According to industry veterans, including their direct and indirect effects, processor chips and related products (such as memory and storage chips), account for nearly 60% of the value of ordinary electronic products in the modern consumer world.

So far, India has not provided any fully functional chip wafer fabs for domestic or international markets. Punjab’s government-backed semiconductor laboratory (SCL) in Mohali still has only chip manufacturing capabilities at 180nm (nanometer) chip size, even cutting-edge devices have moved to 3NM chips. The size of quality electronic products used in electrical appliances, automobiles and other industries is 28-100nm.

Tata’s semiconductor project is the goal of this field. On February 1, union IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said Tata’s chip plant is certainly able to “release the first chip from its Dholera Plant in India by the end of 2025.”

Industry veterans say domestic chip manufacturing can reduce India’s dependence on imports by just catering to the domestic market. Ajai Chowdhry, co-founder of HCL Technologies Ltd, told HAJAI Chowdhry, “India has a great demand for smart meters from power distribution companies. Mint Last year, it highlighted how Tata’s chip fabs began to attract customers in India itself.
