Emergence Design Start-ups

Moving up the Value Chain

India is attracting a large number of VCs to invest in the domestic semiconductor design segment. The country is now becoming a preferable destination for VC firms due to factors such as availability of skilled labour, strong local market and flexible regulatory framework of the IT ministry.

Various semiconductor consuming sectors, such as digital media, consumer electronics, auto and wireless, are demanding devices with multi-features having different technologies on a single platform. Further, the growth of mobile applications is driving the combination of microprocessors and digital signal processors in order to take advantage of both technologies.

Many domestic and foreign start-ups are coming into the picture and expanding their operations in the country. Currently, it is not difficult to establish a start-up unit, as financing schemes for these start-ups are available in the country. This trend will firmly embed India on the global map in the field of semiconductor designing.

Many multinational semiconductor companies have also started either offshoring their developing and designing work to India or opening their own captive centres in the country. These designing companies in India are now moving up the value chain by moving from low end-to-end design activities to front-end design work.

Semiconductor Manufacturing in India The increasing spending on electronics products offers a large opportunity to global semiconductor companies to set up their manufacturing plants in the country. Recently, setting up of some new fabs has been proposed and the already approved fab units are expected to be operational by 2009 and 2010. The Indian government has also proposed to develop a ‘Fab City’ in Hyderabad, which is expected to house 10 manufacturing plants and to create 5,000 jobs by 2009 and up to 1.4 million jobs by 2016 in over 200 ancillary industries

Semiconductor Manufacturing in India • It is estimated that approximately seven to eight Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) units will be set up in India, at an investment of US$ 5–6 billion. The number of solar chip fab units in India is expected to surpass the number of semiconductor chip fab units in the country in the next few years. • Currently, there are no operational wafer fabs in the country and semiconductor manufacturing is limited to only three government companies (Bharat Electronics Limited, Society for Integrated Circuit Technology and Applied Research, and Semi-Conductor Laboratory).

Se m i c o n d u c to r S e c to r –Overview December 2008

Factors fuelling growth in semiconductor manufacturing The Indian Government is currently offering various incentives to the global semiconductor companies to set up their chip manufacturing plants in the country. Factors Fuelling Growth • Chip manufacturing is getting a fillip in India as various electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers and mobile phone equipment manufacturers, such as Samsung, Motorola and Nokia, are setting up their plants in India. For example, according to a Gartner report, by 2011, 10–20 per cent of mobile phone production in India could be for exports. There is potential for chip manufacturing companies to partner with these EMS players and leverage this opportunity.

Assembly Testing Mark Pack (ATMP) ATMP is the post-fabrication stage, where the chip reaches the testing lab and undergoes various tests. At this stage, faulty chips are identified and the rest are taped out for shipment. This post-fabrication stage completes the overall value chain of the semiconductor sector and complements the Indian semiconductor ecosystem.

Assembly Testing Mark Pack (ATMP) ATMP in India Market • The number of ATMP units in India is very small but various firms including both domestic and foreign testing and packaging companies are foraying into IC testing. For India to emerge as a complete semiconductor solution provider, it has to develop as an ATMP hub. • The global ATMP market is valued at approximately US$ 20 billion (as of 2007) and if India can tap even five per cent of this market by 2015, it will translate into big business for the country.

• Custom duty exemption



• Excise duty exemption



• Central sales tax reimbursement



• Corporate tax exemption on 90 per cent export turnover



• S ales in Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) upto 50 per cent of the ‘free on board’ (FOB) value of exports permissible

Growth prospects for ATMP

Growing Domestic Electronics Market

India – A Cost Competitive Country

The presence of a growing domestic electronics market consisting of MP3 players, personal computers (PC), digital cameras and mobile handsets offers a great opportunity for mix-signal testing, flash testing and packaging memory devices.

ATMP units are located predominantly in cost competitive countries. India with its abundant skilled, low-cost, and competitive workforce offers tremendous opportunities for ATMP units.

Growth Prospects for ATMP Units in India

Upcoming Fabs and Manufacturing Facilities The upcoming semiconductor fabs in India may require in-house operations to carry out assembling and testing of their ICs to have full control over the manufactured ICs. At the same time, plans of some of the consumer electronic majors, such as Samsung, Nokia, LG and Dell, to set up their manufacturing plant in India, are favourable for assembling, testing and packaging of chips and final products.

SemIndia SemIndia is setting up a US$ 100 million ATMP unit at Maheshwaram, near Hyderabad, and plans to roll out its first chip by March 2008. Tessolve Tessolve along with its investors has announced plans to undertake an investment of US$ 200 million for a Testing Assembling Packaging and Prototyping (TAPP) facility in Chennai. SPEL SPEL, India’s only commercial semiconductor chip assembly and testing company, plans to invest US$286 million in a special economic zone near its existing facility in Chennai. 30

Current Trends in ATMP Venture Capital Targeting ATMP Segment Some VC firms are targeting the Indian semiconductorATMP segment. For example, Sandalwood Capital Partners, an India-focused venture fund, is keen to invest in the ATMP segment. Sandalwood invested US$ 30 million in the SemIndia’s Phase 1 proposed test and assembly facility in Hyderabad. Currently, Sandalwood is increasing its corpus in India from US$120 million to US$500 million. It aims to increase its investment to US$ 1 billion in the next three years in technology-related business.

Current Trends in ATMP Outsourcing of Assembly and Testing Services Outsourcing of assembly and testing services is expected to give a fillip to the revenue of ATMP units in India. Foreign companies are expected to outsource their work to these ATMP units in India and at the same time, captive design centres of semiconductor companies such as Intel, TI and AMD are also expected to outsource their work to these ATMP units. This trend is further supported by the fact that the market for outsourced assembly and testing services has grown from 30 to 40 per cent in the past five years.

Reg ulato ry F r a m e wo r k in Semiconductor Sector December 2008

Regulatory Policy and Incentives Offered in the Semiconductor Sector To become self-reliant in chip manufacturing and attract semiconductor companies to set up their manufacturing plants in the country, the Indian Government announced ‘National Semiconductor Policy’ (NSP) or ‘Fab Policy’ in 2007. Under this policy, the government has proposed a special incentive plan to encourage companies to come to India for semiconductor and related ancillary manufacturing Regulation of NSP The threshold investment for a semiconductor manufacturing (wafer fabs) plant would be US$ 575 million (approx.) and US$ 220 million (approx.) for other ancillary units (storage devices, organic LED, micro or nano-technology products).

38

Reg ulato ry F r a m e wo r k in Semiconductor Sector December 2008

Regulatory Policy and Incentives Offered in the Semiconductor Sector Incentives offered by the government Incentives under the National Semiconductor Policy The policy covers LCDs, storage devices, plasmas, photo-voltaics, solar cells and nanotechnology products, and also includes assembly and testing of these products.

State Governments can provide additional incentives to semiconductor companies.

20 per cent of the capital expenditure of a semiconductor manufacturing unit located in a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) will be borne by the government for the first 10 years.

Assuming a 1:1 debt to equity ratio for the project, the government restricts its participation to 26 per cent of the equity capital.

39

In case of units located outside the SEZ, the Countervailing Duties (CVD) on capital goods will be exempted.

In case of units located outside an SEZ, the government will bear 25 per cent of the capital expenditure for the stated time duration.
