Amidst the dynamic growth of the semiconductor industry, fueled by the surge in Accelerated Computing, Generative AI, and semiconductor advancements, India sets ambitious goals to become one of the top five global semiconductor producers in the next five years. Key to achieving this milestone, CADFEM India, a leader in simulation-based digital engineering, alongside the International Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, and ANSYS, are highlighting the vital role of advanced simulation tools in propelling industry innovation and competitiveness.
CADFEM India’s collaboration with these entities was recently showcased in a four-day IISc Bengaluru workshop focusing on ANSYS Lumerical EDA Platform. This hands-on session underscored the capabilities of ANSYS simulation tools in enhancing silicon photonics design, signalling a new era of engineering excellence in India’s quest for leadership in smart manufacturing.
Dr Madhukar Chaitri, CEO of CADFEM India, remarked, “The adoption of Ansys Multiphysics Simulation Tools is transforming product development from silicon to systems among Indian semiconductor firms. This evolution is crucial for minimising time-to-market, reducing costs, and optimising performance.”
Professor Shankar Kumar Selvaraja of IISc Bengaluru noted, “Through our partnership with CADFEM and the use of Ansys solutions, we’re advancing engineering in unprecedented ways. Our intensive workshop on silicon photonics marks the beginning of a series of programs aimed at closing the skills gap in photonic integrated circuit technology.”
Workshop Insights & Semiconductor Industry Outlook
The IISc workshop offered participants a deep dive into the design and development process of silicon photonic circuits, guided by Professor Selvaraja and Photonics Application Engineers from CADFEM India. The program, supported by the Ansys India Academic program under Souvick Chakraborty, emphasizes CADFEM and IISc’s commitment to research and education excellence. The PRISM-A Photonic Integrated Circuit User Program aims to establish an annual calendar of events to foster ongoing learning and development in this critical field.
