You're doing a great job busting ppl. More power to you.
Does anyone know the status of these foundries and can they be used to fabricate chips for strategic usage ? @Bali78
No they are not designing foundries. They are the manufacturers. They fabricate a designed wafer which have dual use. In India the only fabless are in Chandigarh which does that and one more in Hyderabad and Noida. But not at par to their western counterparts like qualcomm, AMD, Nvidia which are way ahead.
Here is the list
10 Most Promising Semiconductor companies in India

Those are for the civilian market.
I don't think anything happened so far. Regarding chips for strategic purposes, I don't see any issue in getting them fabricated by TSMC. Taiwan is a friendly country and TSMC is best when it comes to fabrication.You're doing a great job busting ppl. More power to you.

Most of these companies are body shoppers!! The joker who wrote the article should first learn to differentiate between a body shopping company and product company!!I would suggest to read your post again and see if you can make any sense whatever you wrote!!
Indian made had complaints of joule heating which reduced the yield % during dry run which was then later rectified by a special paste and bus architecture imported from Boston now this special thermo paste is also produced in India as they need it now and then and consultancy on power consumption. As power remains the most hated problem for this component. And the switching power and leakage power were some issues regarding this chip development and still it remains. As not every unit is as perfect as the previous one. Then they were consulted regarding ABB to stop static loss of thresh hold voltage or interrupted volatage.
You cannot be 100% independent or idegenous because if one component it ready then something is missing. Only 30-40 more years of extensive research would make India really a technology hub.
Secondly, those who work there would know it well that these facilities the test beds and tool , how many of them are imported as there was no availability of resource or tech to manufacture it. It took them 25 years to build this lab for high end use. LOL

Since you are asking about processors

I know these companies are joke only SCL is one high end for specific purpose
^^^Excellent find bro......
Would recommend every one to watch it.Details on AMCA timeline,GaN foundry,RAM coatings,etc.

All strategic chips are made in India. India has a fabrication facility - SCL in Chandigarh. It also has a GAETEC facility for Gallium based semiconductor development (UTTAM AESA, for example). India has quite good hold in 180nm technology and is also good at designing the chips. The 180nm is 2000-2002 technology but is good enough for strategic purpose. The 180nm chips are far more reliable than the latest 22nm chips and reliability is the most important factor in strategic applications.
TSMC is only for civilian chip making. Taiwan is not a friend of India as it is a vassal state of USA and its technology is controlled by USA. Taiwan is not an independent country in reality.
Can you elaborate why 180nm chips are more reliable than 22nm ? BTW, 22nm is not latest, 7nm is.
The smaller spacing between transistor (22nm is spacing) means lesser room for error. Heating by continued usea, slight fluctuations in current etc can cause outage. If the spacing is large, there is more room for error.
No, the latest is 14nm chips. But even these are not fully developed. 22nm is the fully developed technology. 10nk, 7nm etc are simply dreams and are only technology demonstrator projects.
