Registration Of Semiconductor & Layout Design: An Indian Perspective

INTRODUCTION

India is known for its software industry but sluggish in the development of hardware sector. The designing of integrated circuits and its viability involve intensive capital and it's mostly a volume game with distinct functionalities. It is well known fact that these tiny products known as semiconductor brought revolution in electronic industry but Indian semiconductor market is far away from such products at large scale mainly due to factor likes these industries needed interrupted power supply and skilled and efficient technology, inadequate funding and adequate infrastructure.

It forces the department of Electronics & IT to bring national policy on Electronics which can attract investment of US $ 100 billion & employment of 28 million & may possibly grow the chip design market to US $ 55 billion¹ as one of the three key electronic devices like mobile, TV & PC or laptop account for 70% of overall electronic consumption.
