L&T Semiconductor Technologies Partners With IBM To Design Processors

SUMMARY

IBM and L&T Semiconductor Technologies have entered into a research and development collaboration with tech major IBM to design advanced processors

The scope of the partnership will include processor design for edge devices and hybrid cloud systems, as well as for areas like mobility, industrial, energy, and servers

The development comes at a time when India’s semiconductor space is buzzing with activities and the country is attracting investments from giants in the segment

In a bid to capitalise on the momentum in the Indian semiconductor landscape, L&T Semiconductor Technologies (LTSCT) has entered into a research and development collaboration with tech major IBM to design advanced processors. 

In a joint statement, the companies said that the scope of the partnership will include processor design for edge devices and hybrid cloud systems, as well as for areas like mobility, industrial, energy, and servers. 

“Leveraging our collective strengths and advanced capabilities, we are dedicated to working with key public and private collaborators to advance what’s next in semiconductor and processor design technologies,” IBM Semiconductors’ general manager Mukesh Khare said. 

The partnership announcement comes almost a year after IBM signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the India Semiconductor Mission to accelerate innovations in the field of semiconductor technology. Besides, it also signed an MoU with Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to collaborate on a joint working group to accelerate processor design and manufacturing for High Performance Computing (HPC) in India.

On the other hand, construction giant L&T’s semiconductor arm LTSCT claims to be India’s first semiconductor product company. It aims to build an India-based semiconductor portfolio of smart devices across MEMS sensors, power, analog mixed signal and RF products to support automotive, industrial, energy and telecommunication verticals.

The company also signed an MoU with C-DAC last week to jointly develop India-driven chip technology and the ecosystem around it. Besides, it also entered into a similar arrangement with IIT-Gandhinagar for collaboration on futuristic semiconductors research and development.

On the partnership with IBM, LTSCT CEO Sandeep Kumar said “The goal of our work with IBM is to harness our cutting-edge semiconductor design technology and IBM’s advanced processors to forge next-gen technology products.”

The two semiconductor majors have joined hands at a time when India’s semiconductor space is buzzing with activities. Earlier in the day, it was reported that the Central government is looking to foster the budding ecosystem by broadening the scope of ISM.

On Monday, the US state department said that it would partner with the India Semiconductor Mission to explore “opportunities to grow and diversify” the global semiconductor ecosystem.

Recently, the Centre also approved the proposal of Kaynes Semicon to set up a semiconductor unit in Gujarat with an investment of INR 3,300 Cr.
