Big Indian breakthrough in #semiconductors! 🇮🇳

IISER Bhopal researchers (led by Dr. Santanu Talukder) developed a simple, low-cost technique called electrolithography.

It directly "writes" super-fine patterns (sub-10 nm) on chromium films using an ultra-sharp probe — no expensive cleanrooms, no photoresists, no toxic chemicals needed.

→ Cheaper & greener way to make photomasks & hardmasks
→ Supports India's Semiconductor Mission
→ 2 patents filed + papers published

🇮🇳 currently imports 100% of its advanced photomasks. A single set costs between 100k$-500k $/ year.

This is going to save Indian Cos hundreds of crores in coming years.

Finally, India’s 6th 🇮🇳 #semiconductor unit ( HCL-Foxconn JV) to come up near Jewar airport in UP under the India Semiconductor Mission. With ₹3,700 cr capex, it’s not a mega fab. An OSAT/packaging unit for display driver chips, meaning less heavy capex. But big step in building local ecosystem and may help reduce bit of import dependence. #MakeInIndia
