Tata Electronics Signs MoU with Tokyo Electron to Purchase Semiconductor Equipment and Services
Tata Electronics has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Tokyo Electron Limited (TEL) to purchase semiconductor equipment and services.
This strategic partnership aims to accelerate the semiconductor equipment infrastructure for India's first Fab being built by Tata Electronics in Dholera, Gujarat, and its assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, Assam.Indian handicrafts marketplace
The collaboration will focus on both front-end fabrication (creating semiconductor wafers) and back-end packaging (assembling and testing semiconductor chips).
Additionally, Tata Electronics' workforce will receive training on TEL equipment. Tata Electronics' workforce will receive specialized training on Tokyo Electron's equipment, ensuring high-quality production and maintenance.
The collaboration will also support ongoing R&D initiatives to improve semiconductor manufacturing processes and technologies
Further, TEL will explore opportunities to leverage India's talent to establish engineering services in India. TEL plans to leverage India's talent pool to establish engineering services in India, supporting its global product development efforts.
This collaboration is expected to strengthen the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem in India and drive innovation across multiple technology nodes.
Notably, Tata Electronics is building India's first semiconductor fabrication unit (Fab) in Dholera, Gujarat, with an investment of Rs 91,000 crore. Additionally, they are setting up an assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, Assam, with an investment of Rs 27,000 crore.
This strategic collaboration aims to create a robust semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem in India, driving innovation and supporting various applications such as automotive, mobile devices, artificial intelligence (AI), and more.
Originally established as Tokyo Electron Laboratories, Inc. in 1963, Tokyo Electron Limited (TEL) is a leading global company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. It specializes in providing solutions for the MAGIC market (Metaverse, Autonomous Mobility, Green Energy, IoT & Information, Communications). The company operates in Japan, Taiwan, North America, South Korea, Europe, Southeast Asia, and China.
TEL has a presence in India primarily through its collaboration with Tata Electronics for the semiconductor manufacturing project. While TEL's direct operations in India are focused on this partnership, their advanced semiconductor equipment and solutions are being utilized to build India's first semiconductor fabrication unit (Fab) in Dholera, Gujarat, and an assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, Assam.
The TEL-Tata Electronics collaboration is expected to enhance India's semiconductor manufacturing capabilities and contribute to the growth of the electronics and technology sectors in the country.
