Semiconductors
Semiconductors highlights India's chip design and manufacturing capabilities from materials to applications, inviting TRL 3–9 proposals in CMOS logic, memory, RF/power devices, digital/AMS/RF circuits, and MEMS/NEMS. Solutions must be globally novel, address supply chain, performance, and cost challenges, and be supported by a verifiable working prototype.
