  • In this debate, we take a look at whether India can become a Semiconductor Superpower in near future or not?
    00:00 Intro
    02:30 Taiwan's Dominance
    03:25 China's Position
    05:09 Opportunity for India?
    08:07 India's Current Position
    13:33 India's Plan for the Future
    17:00 Conclusion
    The debate centers on India's potential to become a global semiconductor superpower in response to the threat China poses to the semiconductor industry's future, primarily in Taiwan. China claims Taiwan as its own, creating a constant risk to the semiconductor production hub that manufactures over 60% of the world's semiconductors. This dispute has resulted in military tensions between China and the US, who aims to protect Taiwan to secure its semiconductor supply. The discussion raises the idea of diversifying semiconductor sources, with India emerging as a potential alternative, reducing dependence on Taiwan and potentially averting international conflicts over semiconductor production.
    Current Geopolitics:
    China currently holds significant control over the global semiconductor supply chain. They dominate the production of germanium, gallium, and electronic devices in which semiconductors are used, with 36% of all electronics coming from China. Despite geopolitical tensions with the US and other countries, China produces a substantial portion of critical rare earth metals for semiconductor manufacturing, such as 60% of germanium and 90% of gallium.
    These metals are vital because they are essential components in semiconductor production. China's control over these rare earth metals allows them to influence the global semiconductor supply chain by limiting exports. Furthermore, China is a major electronics manufacturing hub, responsible for 36% of the world's electronic products. Once semiconductor chips are manufactured, they are often sent to China for assembly into the electronic devices used daily.
    However, the world is seeking alternatives to China due to its unpredictability and excessive power. Diversifying the supply chain is crucial to avoid disruptions. India is seen as a potential replacement for China, but it faces significant challenges. India lacks semiconductor fabs, relies on semiconductor imports, and has limited experience in chip manufacturing. Other countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam offer cost-effective alternatives with existing semiconductor expertise.
    While there is an opportunity for India, it is not currently positioned to seize it. The world is exploring the "China+1" strategy, but India's readiness to take China's place remains uncertain.
    Indian Opportunity:
    India's immense size positions it as a potential alternative to China in manufacturing. Its vast market eliminates the need for heavy reliance on exports, offering cost advantages. The US and Japan have pledged support for India in semiconductor production, despite its current lack of manufacturing facilities. China leads in semiconductors, with its SMIC holding a significant market share. However, China's growth is constrained by the unavailability of essential lithography machines from ASML, due to US-imposed restrictions. With the US's willingness to assist India, the nation could quickly catch up and become a significant player in the semiconductor industry, eroding China's edge.

    As a startup founder dealing in embedded electronics and mostly semiconductors, even if the Indian government is fully focused on setting up semi fabs and the relative supply chain, it will take minimum 20 years to become stable , mature and understand the process. Only after that the option for dominance starts. Anyone saying India can do things in just a flick of a button is ignorant and its just wishful thinking.

      In the meanwhile the world is not going to remain static for the manna to fall from India. US has already awared nearly 50 Billion dollars for comapnies like Samsung, Intel, TSMC, Micron, AMD to set up plants in US. Huawei has already drawn blood in terms phone related chips..... Apple is losing market share in China for a combination of reasons one of them being Huawei's ability to come up with high quality phones comparable to Apple. India is a lot hype and a desperate hope generated out wishful thinking.... Time will prove that. Reports are saying that India has given Micron a subsidy of USD 1.7 Billion for their USD 0.8 Billion investment..... for what ... chip packing not manufacturing....

    In 2014, there was not a single company manufacturing smartphones in country, today even companies like google and nothing who have a very small market share are manufacturing in India. Times change and policies too so I agree with Caleb. India's 10B also faces with competition with US's 220B incentive plan. Even South Korea is competing in this space. The growing competition is also the cause for the slow progress in India as we don't have deep pockets like the developed countries.

      For your kind information andhbhakt, Foxconn withdrew it's 19.5 Billion USD investment form India due to BJP's greed to win Gujarat elections
      BJP forcefully shifted Foxconn's project from Maharashtra to Gujarat despite the fact that Foxconn was more interested in Maharashtra as they got better incentives from the Maharashtra and more strategically located land with better connectivity in the state

    This discussion feels a bit uninformed. Just read Chip Wars by Chris Miller and you will get a clearer picture.

USA has prevented China from acquiring it and there is no indication that it will allow India. They want to boost their own manufacturing.

    Semiconductor manufacturing requires not just building a factory but a huge technology chain and highly skilled workers. The US has been trying to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the US but so far has not succeeded. Intel cannot even make 14 NM chips. Semiconductor manufacturing is concentrated in East Asia because East Asia has the best skilled workers in the world. They are not prone to strikes, willing to work overtime, innovative, focused and hardworking. Taiwan's Wistron's exit from India is an example.

Very realistically it will take India another 20 years to be where TSMC or China is.And 20 years is a terribly long time. With the rate at which technology is evolving and changing, anything can happen.

Previously we had made a start with SCL Punjab which went bust with no funding or support which the govt now is revamping with investment. That again is a good start at low hanging fruit. SCL currently produces180nm chips which govt is revamping with 2 billion usd for 28nm chips. Later it will aim for thinner.

    I feel like semi-conductors are at the end of their usefulness. In say 3-4 years, someone will make a 2 manometer process. Which is physically the smallest we can go without messing with their signals. 1 nanometer is not possible and even if it was, where would be go from there? I believe most high level companies are doing r and d replace semi-cunductors entirely. Now semi-conducters might be around for 10 plus years. But even in Caleb's most optimistic timeline, we wouldn't be on top of the market and not even no. 2 after taiwan probably. By the time india catches up with the rest of the world, we might as well have changed the thing that powers our bleeding edge tech. We won't become a superpower if we keep trying to play catch up with the rest of the world. What we need to do is r & d to the point that we can predict and invest in the possible future leap in technology.

I believe the 2030s will kick start the era of hybrid cloud native quantum computers and it will be available for mass public use in 2040s. Right now is the best time to invest in it. No one really is reaching out for it other than IBM.

      10 nm, 7nm, 5nm, 3nm etc are not reflective of the physical size of the individual semiconductor. They are only commercial names designed to impress us.
      The real size is about 40 to 45nm. And shrinking very slowly.
      This is why Huawei 7nm class of Chips was able to perform almost as good as the Apple 3nm class of chips.

    - 5:38 India has SCL.
    - 7:30 China can still get DUV machines from Canon and Nikon, using which its Kirin 9000s chip was made. In fact, EUV yield still has a long way to go right now. Samsung invested a lot in it and as a result lost long-term partners like Qualcomm.
    - 9:35 recently ISRO Chairman lamented India's lack of manufacturing capabilities, causing us to go to foreigners for life support systems.
    - 15:40 PLI for smartphone manufacturing is currently a losing game for India. We are importing more than exporting even now according to most estimates. We still aren't sure if this will be a good thing long term.
    - China isn't a big deal, yet. Korea, Taiwan and the US (Intel) still own the most advanced fabs. All of these countries have looooong histories of semiconductor innovation. Even during China's 0 covid lockdown period, it allowed its high speed rail to tranport chip design engineers. And it has been investing billions since Deng Xiaoping's days.
    - IMO, semiconductors are way more a national security imperative than an economic imperitive. China was almost overnight squeezed of high-end compute, which will drastically delay its AI plans (something I very much doubt India is even focusing on right now). India hasn't even ordered enough compute to be on the radar. The Middle East is purchasing even more than Europe. All this will have extremely interesting consequences in the coming decades.

    I've been following this industry for over fifteen years, and Pankaj's closing statement is the reality of what India should be aiming to achieve.
    Semiconductors are more profitable at older nodes, because there's less requirement to innovate, less bleeding edge R&D. It's not as sexy, yes. But India shouldn't focusing on bleeding edge until they get their basics right. And that can take at least 20 years, if we look at it optimistically.

      Bleeding edge tech and science is no child's play. How many R&D centres are in India? How many universities are doing research on the science of the future? What is our share of global patents? What is our investment in education, R&D and is the industry partnering with the universities? The answer to all of these is 'not enough'. Compare this to China, which is surpassing the US in terms of patents in these sectors - AI, Green Energy, Quantum Physics, Space Tech. And increasingly in India, we are creating a generation who is going back to history and harping on 'Pushpak Viman'. Even if we had such a tech in history, we don't have it now.

    They overlook China, where Huawei's chips have surpassed Qualcomm's in the United States, and the United States has taken any measures it can take to suppress Huawei... The current semiconductor technology in China is only slightly backward in chip manufacturing, and almost all other companies can replace those in Europe and America.. China is currently vigorously developing lithography machines. If China's lithography machine technology catches up with ASML, the entire process from raw materials to products in China will be occupied by China.. In addition, with China's world-class artificial intelligence technology, it is difficult for any other country in the world to compete... Nowadays, the world sees the United States exerting national efforts to suppress the development of Chinese chips. The United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea, ASEAN, Russia, China, and other countries are vigorously developing the chip industry. It is very difficult for India to defeat these countries, and it is definitely not something that some people say will take ten or twenty years... It will take at least about fifty years to achieve it..

    Absolutely, designing a microchip and manufacturing one involve entirely different processes, and it's high time India focuses on building its manufacturing ecosystem. Notably, OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) differs significantly from semiconductor front-end manufacturing. Developing a semiconductor front-end industry is akin to nurturing the space or aviation sector; it takes countries years, even decades, to establish this complex ecosystem.
    Major industry players like Intel, Infineon, On Semiconductor, and STMicroelectronics possess extensive experience in fab construction and efficient operations. However, their presence has been mostly concentrated in countries across US, Europe and ASEAN, where governments have prioritized and supported semiconductor manufacturing as a key industry.
    Venturing into semiconductor manufacturing in a new country poses significant initial challenges. This is where the Indian government's financial support becomes crucial. Considering that approximately 80% of the current semiconductor demand pertains to mature technology, there's room to delay focusing on smaller nodes for a few years.

India has some of the world’s wealthiest people and if in some way or the other they get incentivised to invest in them, investments from only the top 20-30 richest people will be enough to setup a large cutting-edge factory to manufacture semiconductors leave alone the private equities and funds ready to invest.

Why do you bring this kind of people to show who are kind of programmed in their DNA to say we Indians are not good enough. The guy doesn't even got his facts right when he says 1 nm chips are made. Its so funny someone who came from Canada knows the potential of this country and this ranting fellow goes on ranting.

    Yet it most certainly will not be a semi-conductor superpower. Plus even if India becomes the worlds largest economy, its influence will remain lower(Yet far more significant than today) than China.
