SiCSem to establish SiC process fabrication & ATMP plant in Odisha

Bhubaneswar, June 15 (UNI) SiCSem Private Limited is contemplating to establish a SiC process fabrication and ATMP plant in Odisha.
Estimated to cost Rs.45 crore, this project would bring in the know-how of high volume production of 150 mm and 200 mm SiC wafers.
The SiCSem Private Limited and the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar (IIT) Bhubaneswar have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to collaborate on research in the field of Compound Semiconductors.
IIT, Bhubaneswar sources said the first project to be carried out as part of this agreement would indigenize Silicon Carbide (SiC) crystal growth at IIT Bhubaneswar.
This will help India to become self-sufficient in power semiconductor devices for advanced technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs), fast chargers, green energy, PV inverters, motor controls, and beyond 5G communication.
Director of IIT Bhubaneswar and an expert in semiconductor devices, Prof. Shreepad Karmalkar, said this collaboration will promote innovation and self-reliance in SiC crystal growth, and represents a major industry-academia partnership for IIT Bhubaneswar.
The collaboration, he said, will contribute significantly to the development of the semiconductor ecosystem in Odisha and the nation's semiconductor industry, in line with India Semiconductor Mission, Make in India and Atma Nirbhar Bharat initiatives.
