Semiconductor Complex Ltd.

Description :

Semiconductor Complex Limited (SCL) has always been in sync with the future. It has understood and appreciated the needs of India, its people and its ever-growing industry. The last over 20 years tell the saga of SCL's contribution in leading the national effort in the vital areas of microelectronics. SCL was set-up in 1983, in the green, unpolluted environs on the outskirts of Chandigarh - a city designed by the French architect Le Corbusier, just 250 Kms northwest of the Indian Capital New Delhi. With its objective to design, develop and manufacture VLSIs and VLSI based systems and sub systems, and to create a strong R&D base, SCL entered into a technical collaboration with American Microsystems Inc. USA and in 1984 commenced commercial production in 5 micron CMOS technology. Through intensive in-house R&D efforts SCL developed and productionised the next generation 3 micron, 2 micron, 1.2 micron, 0.8 micron as well as certain specialized technologies such as EEPROM. The company has over the years developed and manufactured a number of key VLSIs for the Telecom and Industrial sectors. SCL's vertically integrated semiconductor operations offer design, wafer fabrication, testing, packaging, quality assurance and reliability testing, VLSI based system manufacturing and applications support all under one roof. Within this framework, SCL places a lot of emphasis on its semiconductor operations - consistently building on its specialisation in areas like Mixed Signal Devices, Micropower Technology, Digital Signal Processing, etc. This fulfils the demand of its customers in focus areas without ignoring its growing base of customers in consumer and industrial electronics. From single chip to total solutions, SCL is a one-stop microelectronics organisation. SCL offers its customers total solutions by providing Standard/Application Specific Standard Products (ASSPs), designing chips from concepts and creating products around ASICs for industrial segment. Add to this the technical service support, the customers have remarkable flexibility to interact with SCL at any stage.
