The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has made significant strides in semiconductor technology, the Ministry of Defence has said.
The ministry noted that using semiconductor technologies, DRDO developed indigenous methods.
“Semiconductors play a major role in modern technology ecosystems, powering critical systems in healthcare, communications, transport, defence, and space,” the Ministry said.
“DRDO has made significant strides in semiconductor technology by developing indigenous methods for producing 4-inch Silicon Carbide wafers and fabricating Gallium Nitride High Electron Mobility Transistors up to 150W,” it added.
DRDO will participate in the Emerging Science, Technology, and Innovation Conclave (ESTIC) 2025, being held at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi from November 3-5.
As one of the key organisers, DRDO will also lead the thematic session on ‘Electronics & Semiconductor Manufacturing’, while Chairman Dr Samir V Kamat will chair a Technical Session on Electronics and Semiconductor Manufacturing on November 5.
