What are semiconductors?
- A semiconductor is a material product usually composed of silicon, which conducts electricity more than an insulator, such as glass, but less than a pure conductor, such as copper or aluminum.
- Success in the semiconductor industry depends on creating smaller, faster, and cheaper products.
- The bulk of semiconductor manufacturing and supply capability concentrated in a handful of countries including Taiwan, South Korea, U.S., Japan and China.
About India Semiconductor Mission (ISM)
- India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) has been set up as an Independent Business Division within Digital India Corporation.
- India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) has been set up having administrative and financial autonomy to-
- Formulate and drive India’s long-term strategies for developing semiconductors and
- Display manufacturing facilities and semiconductor design ecosystem.
