The department of Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), JUIT Waknaghat organized an
industrial visit to Semiconductors Limited (SCL) Laboratory situated at Mohali (Punjab) for UG/PG/Phd
students of ECE discipline on 26-04-2024. This activity has been coordinated by Prof. Rajiv Kumar(HoD, ECE), and Dr. Pardeep Garg (Assistant Professor, ECE). 30 students studying in UG/PG/Phd programmes of ECE department got the opportunity for this industrial visit accompanied by the faculty members : Dr. Harsh Sohal (Associate Professor, ECE), Dr. Vikas Baghel (Assistant Professor, ECE),Dr. Nishant Jain (Assistant Professor, ECE), Dr. Alok Kumar (Assistant Professor, ECE), and Mr.Munish Sood (Assistant Professor, ECE). Also, Mr. Kamlesh Srivastava (Lab staff member of ECE department) became the part of this useful industrial visit.
The visit was started by the SCL officials with welcoming of the JUIT team and showcasing a presentation of SCL in their auditorium in which they discussed the whole functioning of SCL, the plant layout etc. Also, they told that SCL is an autonomous society under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) with more than 40 years of experience as a semiconductor integrated device Manufacturer (IDM). SCL currently operates 2 wafer fabrication lines – 8” CMOS at 180 nm node and 6” MEMS with a combined capacity of approximate 750 Wafer Starts per Month (WSPM).
Over 200 of types of CMOS devices can be made by SCL’s wafer fabrication facilities. SCL undertakes activities pertaining to design, fabrication, assembly & packaging, testing and quality assurance of silicon CMOS and MEMS devices for various applications. In addition, it also has a compound semiconductor research facility. SCL also houses design capabilities spanning across Analog, Logic, Power Management, Opto-Electronics, Data Converters, Sensors, Radiation Hardening and other devices . It also has a fully functioning ceramic line Testing, Assembly & Packaging unit, adhering to
MIL standards, and includes capabilities such as multi-chip packaging, MEMS packaging and fine pitch bonding . SCL is India’s only integrated device manufacturing facility. It makes products for ISRO,DRDO, BAL etc.
Then, SCL officials took JUIT team to the plant visit and showed the functioning of Dicing unit, Testing unit , and Fabrication unit for VLSI chips & MEMS devices. The JUIT team discussed the probable internships , placement opportunity for their ECE students. This visit gave a wonderful exposure to JUIT team in the emerging area of Semiconductors/VLSI field. The JUIT team thanked the company officials,their HR Manager for the visit.
