Jagran correspondent, Dhanbad. Chips – i.e. semiconductors – are the backbone of the technological world. Semiconductors are being used everywhere in mobile phones, automobiles, 5G networks, health equipment, electronic military equipment. In the field of semiconductor, the team of students of IIT ISM has got a place among the top 37 teams across the country.
It is a proud moment for the Department of Electronics Engineering of the Institute that IIT ISM has been selected in the prestigious One Tape-out Per Student program of VLSI Society of India (VSI). The objective of which is to create industry-ready chip design talent in India. Apart from this, the institute thanked Dr. Satya Gupta, CEO, VSI and his team for building a strong semiconductor ecosystem in India through the One TOPS initiative.
ISM will prepare chip based on 65 nanometer technology
Under this program, VSI will provide funding up to Rs 5 lakh to students for MPV chip tape-out. So that they can prepare their complete silicon prototype. The IIT ISM team will design and tape-out a low-power and small-area RISC-V micro processor system-on-chip based on 65 nanometer technology.
This security operations center is being built especially keeping robotics and drone applications in mind. It will have a RISC-V core with Lunex support and a custom AI accelerator that can handle real-time computer vision tasks such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). The project is based on open-source RISC-V architecture and indigenous large-scale integration design workflow, which will fulfill the Bharat Semiconductor Mission and vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Pro. Rajeev Kumar Ranjan will provide academic guidance to the team
More than 15 years of experienced Prof. Rajeev Kumar Ranjan will provide academic guidance to the team. Whereas, Sumit Kumar, senior manager associated with Design Verification Engineering and Analog Devices, is the Industry Mentor. Pro. Rajeev Kumar Ranjan said that India was once dependent on imports of semiconductor chips. Now it is taking rapid steps towards self-reliance.
Semiconductor chips are a fundamental part of modern electronics. These are used in smartphones, computers, automobiles, medical devices and defense systems. Their demand is increasing rapidly globally, due to which this sector has become a center of attraction for investors. A lot of work is being done on semiconductor chips in IIT ISM. IIT ISM will excel in this field.
These are the team member students - Maharishi Sonwani, Soumyajit Samanta, Nitin Singhal, Amarkant, Aditya Ranjan, Dhananjay Jha, Krishna Surlakar and Pradyumna Agarwal.
