Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has launched its chiplet-based system engineering services. With this, the company aims to help semiconductor firms design faster and more powerful next-generation chips, it said.
The offering will allow chipmakers to combine smaller integrated circuits—known as chiplets—into larger, more efficient processors. This approach is expected to speed up product launches and reduce costs at a time when global demand for advanced semiconductors is rising, it added.
The move comes as India positions itself as a major player in the global semiconductor industry. The country’s semiconductor market, TCS said, is valued at $45-50 billion in 2024-25, and is projected to more than double to $100-110 billion by 2030.
Backed by the government’s Rs 76,000-crore India Semiconductor Mission, India is home to 20% of the world’s chip design engineers, attracting investments from international and domestic players in manufacturing and assembly facilities in recent years.
What did V Rajanna say?
“Semiconductors are the foundational technology driving digital innovation and powering differentiated experiences,” V Rajanna, president, technology, software and services, TCS, said.
The IT major explained that chiplet-based design allows manufacturers to mix and match different small chips for specific needs. TCS is supporting this shift by offering design and verification for UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express) and HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), along with advanced package design services for multi-chip products.
What is UCIe?
UCIe is an open industry standard that links multiple specialised chips within a single package, ensuring high-bandwidth, low-latency communication between them. Meanwhile, HBM provides extremely fast and efficient data access for high-performance processors such as GPUs and AI accelerators.
“TCS chiplet-based system engineering services will help semiconductor enterprises accelerate chiplets tapeout, driving flexibility and scalability. Our extensive investments in next-gen technologies, contextual knowledge of the semiconductor industry, and strong track record in execution make us the preferred partner to drive innovation at scale,” he added.
With more than two decades of experience in the semiconductor space, TCS said the new services aim to democratise next-generation chip design for global customers.
