  16. Issue logging & tracking: building maintenance Jun 12 Jun 13 Jul 13 IITBNF EE Scalable, online ticketing and tracking Data-driven approach to identify and track issues Now adopted for IITB campus-wide maintenance U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  17. How are we doing? “The fact that so many of my students are able to use the facility on a regular basis, basic training is provided to them and they are made aware of the safety issues, etc. speaks volume about how the facility is maintained, and open to others for use…Thanks for being generous and allowing others to use the unique facilities!” – Prof.AmitAgrawal(Mechanical) “Easily allowing interested people to use the facility, which significantly enhances the utility of the installed facilities.” – Prof.Dipti Gupta (MEMS), on highlights of IITBNF “From the point of view of an user I find that the facility is administered very professionally. Online slot booking system, billing details, issue of consumables, etc. are very transparent.” – Anonymous faculty, on highlights of IITBNF C “We have never faced any difficulty in accessing any facility.” – Anonymous faculty A B “The facility caters primarily towards electronic device fabrication. However, there is an increasing number of users in the institute who are working at the interface of physics/engineering and biology and would like to use the IITBNF facility. Therefore, it will be good to have dedicated a few soft lithography equipments to avoid potential contamination issues.” – Anonymous faculty “Uniqueness is the accessibility aspect…Simply register and things happen as they should. I am happy as my students have not cribbed till date about something not made available to them.” – Anonymous faculty, on highlights of IITBNF “Some processes need to be opened for all users irrespective of the substrate they are using.” – Anonymous faculty U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  18. Faculty and Student Participation Strong inter-disciplinary focus and open access U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  19. EE Nanoelectronics Growth ~4X Growth ~2X Growth From 8 to 29 Faculty over 10 years From 10,000  20,000 sq. ft. in 10 years Similar growth across institute; Increased cross-disciplinary research U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  20. What should the future look like? Stanford Nano Center Birck Nanotechnology Center, Purdue • A greenfieldmade-to-custom 200,000 sq. ft center: 20+ years vision 2018-2040 • An INTEGRATED IIT Bombay Nanotechnology Center • 40,000 sq. ft. (approx) ground floor clean room space, allied specialty nano-labs • Faculty, technical staff and graduate student offices • Technology Incubation and Entrepreneurship CENSE, IISc A State-of-the-art Nanotechnology Center U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  21. India’s Need for Semiconductor Manufacturing Electronics production value chain Source: Applied Materials • Semiconductors are the basic building block for all electronics products • 25-30% of product value (even higher for PDA, Tablets, Mobile Phone etc.) • Semiconductor fabs are a catalyst for development of large number of downstream electronics industries • Significant driver for employment growth Design + Manufacturing = Products Two India Fabs approved by union cabinet in 2013; Strong need for semiconductor manufacturing to increase electronic production U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  22. Sustaining a Semiconductor Ecosystem -Role of Academia Example: Semiconductor Tech & Manuf. Course Training & R&D are two key areas where academic institutions and industry have a major role to play 1,500 specialists & 10,000 related skilled jobs/fab Example: IMEC (Belgium), ITRI (Taiwan) Source: Applied Materials, CP presentation 2012 U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  23. http://www.itri.org.tw/eng/econtent/about/about05.aspx R&D Organization Value: ITRI Time horizons > 10 years Initiation: In 1973, three R&D institutes form a private company Industrial Taiwan Research Institute Technology core: 1976 RCA tech transfer and training Corporations Incubated: 163 UMC (1980); TSMC (1987)- Largest foundry Taiwan Mask Corp (1989); Mirle Automation (1989) Epistar Corp (1996): supply chain Phalanx Biotech (2002); Del Solar (2004); Daily Care Biomed (2004); Products: 14000 Patent IBM compatible PC (1983); Carbon Fibre Bicycle, rackets (1985); TFT Display; CD ROM; Std First common car engine, WiMAX, FlexUPD; Standard Labs: National Measurements Lab; Fire and Explosion Lab Indigenous 8” tech. & Mirle Automation Del Solar Acquired 4” technology Epi Star Supply Chain TSMC UMC Growth in various core/ non core segments Long time horizons > 10 years ITRI has played a vital role in transforming Taiwan’s economy from a labor-intensive industry to a high-tech industry. World Leader by 2010 Top 100 world R&D awards: 4 Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation: 3 Imported Tech/knowledge  Do It Yourself  Innovation: Culture of Leadership; U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  24. R&D Centers History and Geography Recent Intel Ireland fab Major corporations strongly partner with multiple University lead prototyping • Drivers for R&D Center • - Corporation provide mid term technology vision & highlight opportunities • - Ensure quality of research • Provides consistent cost sharing (vis a vis start ups) • Future employment path to trainees • Funds/support for disruptive tech incubation • Drivers for Corporations • - Corporate Research is expensive: • - Hedge against low probability disruptive technologies • Pre-competitive research cost sharing • Human Resource development – “A company is as good as its employees” R&D Center “canopy” is essential for sustainable Fab/Semiconductors ecosystem U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  25. R&D Organization Sustainability IMEC (1982- present) AIST (2001-present) Funding (Million €) % grant of revenue 53% support in 10 years 22% support in 20 years Year http://www.aist.go.jp/aist_e/about_aist/facts_figures/fact_figures.html 10 year grant: 189M€ = 130Cr INR (http://www.imec.be/ScientificReport/SR2007/) AIST from Japan shows a similar 60% subsidy after 10 years of operation. IMEC used 189Million € (~1300 Cr INR at 69 INR=1€) of subsidy and 315 Million € of revenue over initial 10 years. From 10 to 20 years, subsidy percent reduces from 60 -22% (essentially non-subsidy revenue increase) U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  26. Nano-EngineerngEcosystem Model Barrier to Materials / Tech Flow (e.g. 4” vs 12”, clean) h/w Tech. Concept /IP Materials/Process High Tech Human Resources Strong need for a connecting entity between Research and Manufacturing U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  27. Proposed R&D Center Model Broad user base around standard baseline Broad Stakeholders Technology Focus & Diversity Multiple technology development focus – what to prioritize? Multiple stakeholders – how to engage? U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  28. Organizational Structure Board Representing Major Stakeholders e.g. CEO, President DeitY Fab DRDO/ISRO/DAE Industry Academia Temporary Temporary • Permanent CEO must have international experience in managing large R&D Labs/Centers Staff preferably have strong background in semiconductor industry or large R&D labs R&D Center must be autonomously & professionally managed with vision from stakeholders U Ganguly Assocham 2014

  29. Prologue SEMI and IESA industry forum to develop ecosystem consensus with GoI Leadership A globally time-tested R&D model needs to be implemented to support the bold vision of Indian semiconductor manufacturing and innovations U Ganguly Assocham 2014
