CDIL Semiconductors (Continental Device India), India’s first semiconductor chips and components manufacturer, will be adding new semiconductor packaging lines via the government of India and MeitY’s SPECS scheme.
With the new lines, CDIL aims to increase its annual capacity by 100 million units. It initiated the first phase of this production with a surface mount packaging line of 50 million devices that will be inaugurated on September 28 by Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology & Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.
CDIL has over 59 years of legacy as a semiconductor and electronics service provider to customers globally across consumer, industrial, defence, aerospace and automotive. The company supplies to its customers across USA, UK, Germany, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, South Africa, and Egypt.
Prithvideep Singh, General Manager, CDIL Semiconductors said, “In line with our steadfast commitment to innovation and market diversification, CDIL Semiconductors has strategically positioned itself to meet the burgeoning demands of the industry especially the power electronics, automotive, and defence sectors, both within India and on a global scale. As we reflect upon this progress, we recognise that this is only the beginning. The groundwork has been established and will stand as a pivotal cornerstone for the company’s future endeavours.”
CDIL has established an advanced high reliability (HiRel) and testing laboratory located at Mohali in addition to its NABL Accredited facility in Delhi. The HiRel laboratory is a crucial part of qualifying CDIL’s devices for stringent sectors like automotive, defence, and aerospace.
Being the first Indian semiconductor company to obtain the IS/ISO 9002 and IATF 16949 quality system certifications, CDIL was the first to introduce India to silicon semiconductor technology in 1964. Currently, it produces a comprehensive range of discrete semiconductor devices including transistors, diodes, rectifiers, schottky diodes, thyristors, voltage regulators, transient voltage suppressors and MOSFETS, with specialities in power semiconductors, and high-reliability components.
