Samsung Semiconductor India has announced that the Samsung Semiconductor India Research Institute (SSIR) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) will join forces to advance semiconductor research and development in India. The collaboration between SSIR and IISc will help facilitate research in the field of on-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. The official announcement r evolves around building ESD devices (electrostatic impedance devices) to protect ultra-fast serial interfaces in advanced IC and SoC products.
Samsung SSIR said the collaboration with IISc will help promote semiconductor innovation and develop ESD knowledge. The goal is to strengthen capacity building through graduate-level training programs, provide students with industry internships, and encourage young researchers to start their own businesses. Research related to the agreement between Samsung Semiconductor India Research Institute (SSIR) and Indian Institute of Science (IISc) will be carried out by a group of Prof. Mayank Shrivastava from the Department of Electronic Systems Engineering (DESE) at IISc. IT House understands that the main purpose of this collaboration is to mitigate IC and SoC chip failures and rework caused by ESD failures. Strengthening research and development to build ESDs for reliable, low-power and high-speed ICs and SOoCs will be on the agenda of this collaboration. IISc is one of the few institutions in the world working on ESD devices. Professor Mayank Shrivastava, head of MSDLab, said: "We have been collaborating extensively with the global semiconductor industry on advanced nanoelectronics technologies, including solutions to ESD reliability threats to advanced SoCs. We conduct basic and applied research on ESD protection devices, with a focus on creating practical solutions for the semiconductor industry at a range of technology nodes."
