according to bloomberg, on september 23, the white house announced that the united states will cooperate with india to build a semiconductor factory. the news was raised by modi after meeting with us president biden during his visit to the united states. in a joint statement, the white house called this cooperation a "watershed" event. the two sides also expressed their willingness to strengthen cooperation and research between the united states and india in areas such as semiconductor technology.

the factory built this time is mainly used to produce semiconductor products required for emitting infrared rays, as well as gallium nitride and silicon carbide semiconductor materials with stronger anti-interference capabilities and suitable for military electronic products. these materials are different from the traditional semiconductor industry that uses silicon wafers as raw materials. they are in the early stages of development and currently have relatively single application scenarios, but have certain development potential. the project will be supported by the indian semiconductor program and will be part of the strategic technical cooperation between indian startup bharat semi, indian image sensor company 3rditech and the u.s. space force.

according to the indian economic times, this is the first time that the us military has set up such a factory in india. it will be the first factory in india that focuses on military semiconductor equipment needs. the report said that young indian chip engineers can help the us military significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing such products. the technology transfer from the united states to india has also made india one of the few countries in the world that can manufacture such products.
