Overview

The semiconductor industry is the congregate of business firms betrothed in the design and fabrication of semiconductor devices. After the first laboratory transistors, rapid technological advances have been the most crucial aspect of this economical trend.

We, at HCL are a strategic vendor to the semiconductor industry, providing a comprehensive portfolio of engineering and enterprise services to semiconductor equipment makers, fabs and device makers. Our customers enjoy exceptional value through sharply reduced costs and time, associated with their product development efforts.

Our service portfolio includes software and hardware product engineering, instrumentation, factory automation, voice and data communication, and engineering design services for semiconductor equipment manufacturers. We also offer services in manufacturing IT and automation for semiconductor fabs and device makers. Our remote infrastructure management, application development, and BPO services complement the core engineering services.

Today, our 800+ engineers provide these services to our premier customers. With over 8000 cumulative person-years of industry experience among them, our engineers are delivering consistent value and constantly increasing our knowledge about the semiconductor industry.

Our semiconductor practice has many firsts:

• First certified power PC design center outside an IBM business unit
• First Indian company to be awarded Frost & Sullivan's 2005 ‘Customer Value Enhancement Award' in the semiconductor domain
• First Indian services company to set up complex infrastructure for its customers – e.g. class 10000 clean room for housing tools, advance ATE lab, etc.
• Domain expertise and knowledge, guided by active participation in leading industry bodies and forums like SEMI, ISMI, power.org, ARM, Microsoft (for manufacturing solutions and as a global systems integration partner) etc.

Our semiconductor practice offers services that allow its customers to squeeze time and cost out of their product lifecycles, in response to the competitive pressure imposed by falling chip prices.

We provide end-to-end solutions in the areas of design, manufacturing, testing, and packaging throughout the chip manufacturing process and also provide manufacturing IT, factory automation, and enterprise IT services.
