Lam Research to open its second R&D centre in India

US-based semiconductor fabrication equipment supplier Lam Research is setting up its second research and development centre in India in September. The new facility will help the company’s engineers complete designs locally and reduce the reliance on US counterparts.

 

Lam Research is a leading supplier of equipment to semiconductor manufacturers such as Intel, TSMC, Samsung and Micron. The company already has over 2,000 employees in India and the new facility will help bring the majority of its work to the country.

 

Rangesh Raghavan, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Lam Research, India, said, “This will improve capability. Until now we relied on US counterparts to build and test our designs. The new centre will include a state of the art hardware engineering lab consisting of deposition (a fabrication process in which thin films of materials are deposited on a wafer), etching (chemically removing layers from the surface of a wafer), and wet processing units (used for etching and cleaning the wafers), along with AR/VR-enabled capabilities.”

 

Raghavan said that while semiconductor manufacturing in India is in its early stages, its participation in the ecosystem is already very strong from the design perspective. Large chip design firms, including Intel, Texas Instruments, Qualcomm and Nvidia are already designing chips in India.
