First semiconductor chip at India by Dec.2024. The $2.7-billion semiconductor assembly and testing plant is to be built by U.S. headquartered Micron in India will produce its first chip in six quarters. The groundwork to domestically synthesize hundreds of chemicals and gases involved in semiconductor manufacturing had been laid. Ultra-pure water (UPW), which is required in semiconductor manufacturing in large quantities, would be manufactured for the Micron plant.
