Tata Electronics has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Synopsys, a leading provider of silicon-to-systems design solutions, to collaborate on process technology bring-up and a foundry design platform to accelerate the successful ramp of customer products in India’s first fab being built by Tata Electronics in Dholera, Gujarat.
The two companies have identified the following areas of potential collaboration:
- Advanced factory automation and yield data analytics solutions to help establish an AI-enabled fab
- TCAD (Technology Computer Aided Design) flow set-up to enable accurate technology transfer from the technology partner
- PDKs (process design kits) and design enablement
- IP development, including foundation and analog IP
- DTCO (Design Technology Co-optimization) methodologies
“For nearly 30 years, Synopsys has been researching and developing silicon-to-systems design solutions for customers and investing in workforce development in India. We applaud and support Tata Electronics’ vision to develop semiconductor manufacturing capacity in India, advancing supply chain resiliency for the global semiconductor industry,” Sassine Ghazi, president & CEO of Synopsys, said.
As previously announced, Tata Electronics plans to build India’s first fab in Dholera, Gujarat, with a total investment of INR 91,000 crores. In addition, another INR 27,000 crores will be invested in a greenfield facility in Jagiroad, Assam for assembly and testing of semiconductor chips.
Together these facilities will produce semiconductor chips for applications across automotive, mobile devices, artificial intelligence (AI), and other key segments to serve customers globally. As construction of the facilities progresses, it is critical to grow partnerships across the entire semiconductor ecosystem spanning process and design technology, and equipment suppliers.
With this intended collaboration with Synopsys, Tata Electronics solidifies a critical pillar for a holistic approach to achieve its targets to be the first to bring semiconductor manufacturing to India.
