IndiaTimes reports that Tata Projects announced on Tuesday that Micron Technology's semiconductor assembly and test facility at Sanand near Ahmedabad (India) will be ready by December 2025. Amit Agrawal, Project Director at Tata Projects, said workers have finished 60 percent of India's first semiconductor plant, the rest will be done by year's end. The plant covers about 50 acres in the Sanand industrial area and the building started in July last year. Tata Projects is putting up this semiconductor Assembly, Testing, Marking and Packaging (ATMP) facility for Micron.
"An ATMP facility is essentially a backend fab facility where testing, packaging and marking of semiconductors are carried out. This is perhaps the largest back-end semiconductor fab unit in the world. So far, 60 percent of work has been completed on Phase-1 with the help of a total workforce of 3,500," Agrawal told reporters. "We will hand over this facility to Micron by December 2025 after finishing civil work, mechanical, electrical and plumbing work along with engineering-related tasks as per the designs given by Micron. The final call to commence the plant will be taken by Micron" added Amit Agrawal, Project Director at Tata Projects.
In June 2023, Micron signed a deal with the Gujarat government to build a $2.75 billion semiconductor assembly and test facility in Sanand. Micron said the project will create about 5,000 direct jobs and 15,000 more indirect jobs once the plant starts running. Micron's new facility will focus on transforming wafers into ball grid array (BGA) integrated circuit packages, memory modules and solid-state drives.
