Semiconductor Mission-2 may focus on compound fabrications, silicon photonics

The government will likely keep the financial incentives for semiconductor chip packaging units at a bare minimum under the second phase of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), people in the know told ET.

Much of the funds and incentives being planned under the second phase of India’s ambitious programme to set up a semiconductor ecosystem from scratch will be dedicated to getting more compound semiconductor fabrication and silicon photonics companies to the country, they said.
