India’s First Advanced 3D Semiconductor Packaging Unit

India’s First Advanced 3D Semiconductor Packaging Unit
  • Context:

  • In a defining moment for India's semiconductor ambitions and Odisha's emergence as a future-ready technology destination, the foundation stone for the country's first advanced 3D chip packaging unit was recently laid at Info Valley in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

  • This groundbreaking project marks a significant milestone towards strengthening India’s domestic semiconductor ecosystem and advancing the broader national vision of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' in high-end electronics manufacturing.

  • Details of the Facility:

  • The groundbreaking project is actively promoted by 3D Glass Solutions.

  • The facility itself will be operated under the entity Heterogeneous Integration Packaging Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (HIPSPL), situated in the Khordha district.

  • The plant is uniquely designed as a greenfield, vertically integrated advanced packaging and embedded glass substrate ATMP (Assembly, Testing, Marking, and Packaging) facility.

  • The total capital investment dedicated to the project is massive, standing at ₹1,943.53 crore.

  • To ensure its success, it is backed by an approved Central fiscal support of ₹799 crore, alongside additional State-level support of approximately ₹399.5 crore.

  • The plant has set a concrete timeline, with commercial production expected to officially begin by August 2028.

  • Following this, full-scale volume production is strategically targeted for August 2030.

  • Applications:

  • Emerging Technologies:

  • The high-end ATMP facility is built to explicitly cater to modern, high-growth sectors.

  • Its output will be vital for data centres, Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, and next generation 5G/6G communications.

  • Furthermore, the advanced 3D semiconductor packaging will play a crucial role in sensitive and critical domains such as automotive radar, photonics, aerospace applications, and defence electronics.
