India's first Silicon Carbide semiconductor fabrication and ATMP facility

planned

Archean Chemical Industries Limited has signed a fiscal support agreement with the India Semiconductor Mission to develop India's first approved Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductor fabrication and assembly facility under the Semicon India Programme. The project will integrate wafer fabrication and assembly, testing, marking and packaging (ATMP) operations within a single facility, producing nearly 60,000 SiC wafers annually along with around 96 million SiC MOSFETs and diodes. It aims to support applications across sectors including electric vehicles, renewable energy, smart grids, industrial automation, 5G telecommunications and data centre infrastructure.
