Its most capable fab is 0.8 um. That's orders of magnitude off the "modern" standard.
They are planning to upgrade and introduce fab technology that is capable of 0.25um or 250nm.

Linear & non linear Voltage regulators, Amplifiers, Phasors, SR & BC , Converters are those things we have done in first 2 semesters in EEE class
Except the 8 bit SR & BC which is part of Digital logic design, rest of those are pretty much falls into electronic components.
Most interesting part of it is 32kb static RAM module you have mentioned. Is there any videos or procedure how did they fabricated it?
Those modules can be designed any where given limited functions & program they have to execute, but actually making those things is where the critical part lies. The transistors, capacitors, resistance, where did they produce those?
I can make my own 32 bit sram if i get access to a foundry.
But these are far off. My question was about standard chips & MCs. The institute mentioned here is configured for VLSI design. There is neither mention of any micro processor or controller level design & fabrication.. It only mentions about some Israeli company name.
I would say the name Semi-conductor laboratory is misleading a bit here
I think Israel has manufacturing facilities yes. Tower Semiconductor/TowerJazz or something like that?
Never heard of any Indian fabs. The Indians likely use foreign fabs for high end silicon like the Russians do.
The Russians have had difficulty sourcing modern semiconductor tools because of sanctions just like China.
Plus they don't have nearly as much money to invest in large capacity fabs like China. Small internal market. Negligible exports.
The last time the Russians did major investments in semiconductor fabrication was like a decade ago.
I never heard of any Indian fab to be honest. Wasn't their original radar program supposed to use Intel i960 processors and the like?
I have heard India has made major strides in composites and composite manufacturing but their industry is still lacking in a lot of regards.

All from Indian indigenous technologies or mostly foreign ?
SCL has 8 Wafers Fabrication Facilities
180 nanometer CMOS Process for Fabrication of products in Digital, Mixed Signal and Analog domains. | |
| Process Equipment Line, In-line Inspection & Metrology Tools and Support Utilities as per international standards |
|
| Clean Rooms of Class 1, 10, 100 and 1000 with controlled environmental conditions. |
|
| Dedicated bays for Wafer Fabrication Processes viz. Diffusion, Lithography, Etching (Dry & Wet), Implantation, Thin Films working seamlessly from Wafer-in to Wafer-out. |
|
| BKMs (Best Known Methods) comprising regular Tool QCs, Preventive Maintenance and Process Control & Monitoring through in-line defect inspection & measurement through Metrology Tools as per industry standards. |
|
| Commensurate with the requirements of Fab Line, support infrastructure namely High Purity Systems, Utility Plants and Distribution Network operate on 24x7 basis. |
There is no country which can fully Indeginious Semi conductors equipments. The equipment currently used by the SCL was acquired from the Tower Jazz. Most of it's.
Well this is 2000s level.
180nm ain’t that bad if they’re not making processing chips.
@HaldilalSDF what’s the capacity of the plant
Its Productions Capacity is around 10,000 Wafers per Annum. A new Private Firms has got License for set up of 180 NM 90 NM.
The previous Proposal by the HSCML didn't able to secure funding for a 32 and 16 NM manufacturing of 40,000 Waffers of 300 MM Per Annum each facilities so its license got revoked.

Even to produce 2000 level micro controllers you will need fairly complex infrastructure. To be honest military used chips won't evolve as fast as commercial hardware barbecue they don't require high processing power or memory space.
