Nagpur: Technological advancements have made semiconductors an inseparable part of virtually all households. Our dependence on it has grown so much in order that India spends more cash on import of semiconductors than it does for oil. Despite this, India stands nowhere on the planet both in analysis or manufacturing of semiconductors. This used to be printed by Prof Vikram Kumar, emeritus professor in physics at IIT Delhi, on Friday.
Speaking at the sidelines of inauguration of a three-day global symposium on semiconductor fabrics and gadgets hosted by VLSI Design and Nanotechnology Centre of Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT), Prof Kumar said, “Labs of five IITs were given finances (about Rs50 crore) for analysis in semiconductors, but when these institutes wanted more finances for extending the analysis, the government sanctioned even lower than part of what used to be demanded. This displays that the sphere isn't a concern.”
Prof Kumar, recipient of Shantiswaroop Bhatnagar and Vikram Sarabhai awards, said it’s an excessively complex factor and just blaming the government would no longer be right. “Semiconductor uncooked fabrics for industries like silicon wafers are not available in India. Due to various constraints, basically finance, it's virtually unimaginable to arrange semiconductor manufacturing devices right here. However, with right kind policies, countries like Singapore and Taiwan have excelled in semiconductor manufacturing even supposing they didn’t have the uncooked material.”
Prof Kumar said semiconductor analysis is making apparatus and parts of apparatus smaller. For example, a 14-nanometer base can hang a lot more chips than ever and yet have a huge memory, which used to be no longer the case earlier. Computers are getting smaller and smaller. “Over 30% material in any apparatus is digital and semiconductors. Gallium nitrite (semiconductor recurrently used in light-emitting diodes) has already brought drastic adjustments in energy intake. It is going to be the following revolutionary material on the planet,” he said.
Prof Kumar said that organic semiconductors, which can be made out of carbon-based fabrics like P3HT, perryline, are also making dent into the industry. But it has its own programs and it cannot exchange inorganic semiconductors or vice versa. Use of organic LED in television and cellular improves the display quality. They are also used in RFIDs. But overall organic semiconductors are slower in response.
He said that our education didn't keep tempo with the trends in science and generation. “The education same old in a different way is so deficient that it's threat to the country. This affects the employability of scholars. Autonomy to some degree can help institutes have their own curriculum,” he added.
