Thematic Background

Semiconductors form the cornerstone of modern technology, driving innovation across diverse sectors such as electronics, telecommunications, renewable energy, automotive, healthcare, and aerospace. With a firm grasp of semiconductor principles, individuals can contribute to India's technological progress in these fields. Additionally, a thriving semiconductor industry contributes to economic growth, job creation, and national security. However, many undergraduates struggle to comprehend semiconductor intricacies within traditional academic settings. Recognizing this challenge, the Research and Development Centre & IQAC at Shyam Lal College are organizing a National Summer School & Workshop on Semiconductors in collaboration with IUAC Delhi, liT Delhi, Research Council, University of Delhi and Miranda House, University of Delhi. It is driven by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), a vital initiative under the Development of Semiconductors and Display Manufacturing Ecosystems in India program launched by the Government of India. This workshop aims to bridge the gap by offering students a deeper understanding of semiconductor fundamentals, empowering them to actively engage in research, development, and innovation that transcends the boundaries of conventional classroom instruction.
