German semiconductor firm Infineon has signed its first settlement in India with CDIL Semiconductors to produce silicon wafer for manufacturing energy chips within the nation, senior officers of the agency mentioned right here on Thursday. Beneath the settlement, Infineon will provide naked semiconductor wafers to CDIL, which the Indian agency will course of and use for meeting and packaging to make energy chipset to be used in merchandise like energy inverters, photo voltaic expertise, vehicle energy options, and renewable power functions, amongst others.”Infineon will present silicon to CDIL. India is a particular and really massive market the place we want companions like CDIL who perceive the native requirement. That is the primary of its form settlement that we’ve got signed in India,” Infineon applied sciences Asia Pacific President and Managing Director CS Chua mentioned after signing the settlement.
Based in 1964, Continental Gadget India (CDIL) is India’s first semiconductor producer, specialising in discrete semiconductors and silicon carbide (SiC) gadgets.
“By integrating Infineon’s world-class wafer expertise with CDIL’s superior OSAT capabilities, we’re setting new benchmarks in innovation and localisation. This collaboration goes past development — it drives innovation, accelerates ‘Make in India’, and positions India as a hub for semiconductor excellence,” CDIL President Pankaj Gulati mentioned.
He mentioned CDIL will initially make energy chips for Indian prospects after which search for abroad alternatives.
CDIL exports energy semiconductors to China as nicely.
