                        SEMICONDUCTORS

        (How India is progressing in this sector)

1.What is a Semiconductor?

Semiconductors are materials which has electrical conductivity ranging between conductors and insulators. Conductors are good conductors of electricity while Insulators are bad conductors of electricity.



2.Where is a semiconductor used?

Semiconductors are used in manufacture of various electronic devices like diodes, transistors and integrated circuits. The most popular use of a semiconductor is in cars. In vehicles these semiconductor chips are used to control emission systems, driver assist systems etc. Not only in electric cars these chips are also used in petrol cars.



3.A Semiconductor is made up of which material?

Generally a Semiconductor chip is made up of silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide. Out of these three germanium is the oldest.

4.How will a semiconductor help?

First of all semiconductors regulate the flow of electricity and assist in making electronics function. Secondly the electrical conductivity of a semiconductor can be controlled over a wide range making them versatile for various applications. As I told you earlier that a semiconductor is not only used in electric cars but also in petrol cars, this is because semiconductors increase fuel efficiency in cars. By using semiconductors in engine control systems car manufacturers can achieve more precise control of the engine resulting in improved fuel economy and lower emissions.

So these were some common questions people ask when they hear about a semiconductor.

Now you must know that how it will help India and what steps India is taking to manufacture semiconductors in India.

At present Taiwan, USA, Japan, South Korea, China, Israel, Netherlands, UK and Germany can manufacture semiconductors. Out of these countries China and Taiwan produce a large amount of semiconductor.

More exciting thing was that USA and China were in contention with each other in this matter. During era of Donald Trump there aroused a semiconductor war between USA and China. USA wanted to disrupt China's semiconductor manufacturing and hence put a lot of sanctions on China. USA also funded Taiwan and wanted Taiwan to produce more semiconductors than China.



In all this India was benefited a lot. India also wanted to develop semiconductor plants in country and facilitate ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT initiative. 

https://ism.gov.in/ this is the link of Government's India Semiconductor Mission. This mission aims at forming a semiconductor ecosystem in India.



Government of India is also working on many other semiconductor initiatives like SPECS initiative. Moreover a joint venture of Vedanta electronics manufacturing giant Foxconn has finalised Dholera Special Investment Region near Ahmedabad for setting up their semiconductor display manufacturing facility.



So much progress is happening in India and surely it will facilitate India's economy and will also provide more job opportunities. India will surely emerge as a Developed nation in upcoming years and these semiconductor initiatives are like a cherry on the cake.
