ALERT: India Targets 3nm Chips in 8 Years but Still Hasn't Commercially Made a 40nm Chip

牛逼啦，印度计划8年内量产3纳米芯片，但至今还生产不来40纳米芯片啊

India has announced a plan for 3nm semiconductor manufacturing within 8 years. Learn the roadmap for this ambitious target.

The government, led by Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, is shifting focus from current 40nm design capabilities to advanced 7nm and 3nm chip technology. This strategy, known as Semicon 2.0, aims to build a full-scale domestic ecosystem rather than relying solely on partnerships. The details how the country plans to bridge the gap between design expertise and commercial fab production.

印度公布了一项8年内建成 3 纳米半导体生产线的规划，这一宏大目标的发展路线来了。

由阿什维尼・维什瑙部长牵头，印度政府正把发展重心从现有的 40 纳米芯片设计能力，转向先进的 7 纳米与 3 纳米芯片设计能力。印度这项名为 “半导体 2.0” 的发展战略，目标是打造完整的本土产业链，而不是单纯依靠对外合作。

（三泰虎网注：阿什维尼・维什瑙现任印度联邦内阁部长，同时兼任其他三个部长，分别是电子和信息技术部部长、铁道部部长和新闻与广播部部长）

印度政府正式公布“印度半导体使命2.0”实施细则，计划动用总额1.275万亿卢比（约134亿美元）的专项基金，不仅继续扶持晶圆厂和封装厂，更首次将补贴范围大幅扩展至芯片设计、半导体设备、关键材料、研发和人才培养等整个产业链，试图打造一个真正完整的本土半导体生态。

事实上，印度在芯片设计领域并非没有基础。全球大量EDA、CPU、GPU企业都在班加罗尔、海得拉巴设有研发中心，ARM、AMD、英特尔、高通、联发科等公司长期在印度布局数万名芯片工程师。如今，印度政府希望将这种“设计人才优势”转化为本土芯片企业的竞争力。

 

以下是印度网友的评论：

I believe in Tejas, AMCA, Kaveri, high‑speed train, everything India has claimed

我看好印度光辉战机、AMCA隐身战机、卡佛里发动机、高铁，印度放出的所有项目，我都相信一定能做成功

（三泰虎网注：AMCA隐身战机是印度的国产五代机项目，AMCA 是印度规划中的国产五代隐身中型战机，目前仍处于研发阶段，还没有真机试飞。卡佛里发动机是印度自研加力式涡扇发动机项目，由印度国防研究组织DRDO下属 GTRE 燃气轮机研究院开发，初衷是给国产战机光辉战机提供动力。）

3nm Potato chips

印度要发展的是3纳米薯片吧

2027, india will have 0.5 nm chips !
Jai hind! Jai bharat !

到2027年，印度就能造出0.5纳米芯片！印度万岁！伟大的印度！

China is the opposite of India. China is already doing 3nm but kept low key and doesn't say anything. When you don't have it then you brag and bluff, and huff and puff like India. But when you really have it you keep quiet, it keeps your enemies off guard. Just like the kirin 9000s of 2023. Came out of nowhere with shock and awe!

中国和印度完全不一样。中国已经搞定3纳米工艺，却十分低调，不声张。手上没有技术的印度，却大肆吹嘘、放空炮。真正掌握核心技术时反而保持低调，让对手疏于防备。2023年的麒麟9000S就是最好的例子，横空出世，震惊四方！

Indians spend all their time staring into crystal balls to make predictions and boast about them. Just like It minister boasted in Jan 2025 India will produce its own version of Deepseek, but until now have nothing to show at all

印度人总喜欢凭空畅想、夸下海口。就像印度信息技术部长2025年1月放出豪言，印度会自研出对标深度求索的大模型，可直到现在，拿不出一点成果。

 

mihirchitnis905
The government should create very small scale fabs in key universities like IIT,IISc and NIT's so that the students also learn fabrication techniques and processes hands on and can do R&D with professors to further improve them. The students when passed out can get directly recruited to the upcoming fab facilities as key engineers, so that we will have a key talent pipeline flowing in.

政府应当在印度理工学院、印度科学研究所、国家理工学院等顶尖高校建立小型晶圆厂。让学生亲手实操，学习芯片制造技术与工艺流程，和教授一同开展研发、迭代技术。学生毕业后可以直接进入新建晶圆厂担任骨干工程师，搭建稳定持续的人才梯队。

aryapratihar9632
It's already done. In fact IIT Bombay students created their own FAB.

这件事已经落地了。孟买印度理工学院的学生已经建起了小型晶圆工厂。

 

pulkitc329
Small scale multiple fabs all over country should be the thing, they would help fullfill critical requirements also help in research for manufacturing process for later large scale deployment. Small scale fabs should be encouraged asap! India is only focusing on big fabs!

印度应该在全国多地布局小型晶圆厂。它们既能满足关键领域的芯片需求，也能打磨制造工艺，为后续建设大型产线积累经验。必须尽快扶持小型晶圆厂！现在印度只盯着大型晶圆项目！

 

edwinkant
India should targets 0nm chips，as you only need to keep talking to success

印度干脆直接瞄准0纳米芯片好了，毕竟光靠打嘴炮就能“实现目标”

 

begoWise
it is assazing, making 3nm potato chips in 8 years

可真厉害啊，印度人要在8年造出3纳米薯片

 

WangAlan‑p6e
India is the super power of the world on YouTube and India is gonna make 0.5 nm banana chips

在油管平台上，印度就是世界超级大国，马上就能造出0.5纳米香蕉薯片

 

yaphonghor4409
Big promises do not mean the same as hitting the target with the time line! Chip production is very sophisticated process whereby funds and expertise are required!

夸海口许下宏伟的目标，不一定能成功的！芯片制造流程极其复杂，需要庞大的资金和成熟的技术积累！

 

TheMichel200504
we indian minister means potato chips.

我们印度部长所说的0.3纳米芯片，其实就是薯片

Who remember the narrative in 2005 comparing India China to the fable story Tortoise and Hare.

还有谁记得2005年说的，拿龟兔赛跑的寓言对比印度和中国之间的竞争

（三泰虎网注：龟兔赛跑是2005年前后西方媒体、经济学家、印度国内民众流行起来的一个形容中印竞争的比喻，随后广泛传播开来。印度人要表达的是中国是兔子，短期跑得快，但是容易骄傲、中途松懈睡大觉；印度是乌龟，起步慢，但是基础扎实、后劲持久，长期最后实现反超取胜。记得十几年前一位印度领导人访问中国后对印度民众讲，虽然我们没有中国那么多高楼大厦，那么多高速公路，那么多完善的基础设施，但是我们也没有贫富两极分化，没有对老百姓福利的剥夺，特别是印度的开放完全是在利用外资，而不是被外资所利用）

 

Raj‑gr6dy
I'd give it 15 years to get cutting edge. Like c'mon, even China took 3 decades of focused effort. Leapfrogging only works to an extent.

我认为印度至少还要15年才能掌握顶尖芯片工艺。实话实说，就连中国也持续投入三十年才取得如今的成果。

This govt is doing good work but sad for foolish and selfish hindus who didn't understand that and polarised by congress app and cjp

印度政府做得不错。可惜有些印度教徒愚昧又自私，看不清这点，还被国大党和CJP挑动对立，实在让人惋惜

The biggest problem is your Modi government. It is a disaster.

最大的问题就是莫迪政府，这届政府搞得一团糟

 

jtmp‑t6r5z
We need more semiconductor chip fab units to make advanced chips and gpu.

我们需要建设更多半导体晶圆厂，用来生产先进芯片和GPU

 

jimkuan8493
India should target quantum chips. That is 0 nm and the communication is instant. In fact, India shall shoot part of the chip to Mars. And then show the world how the part of the chip left on earth could communicate, through quantum entanglement, with the rest of the chip.
India is #1 in the universe. No, scratch that! The universe is too limited to Indians. India is #1 in omniverse! Jai Hind is heard across space and time!

印度应该主攻量子芯片。量子芯片相当于0纳米，能够实现即时通信。干脆把芯片的一部分发射到火星上，向全世界展示：留在地球上的另一半芯片，如何依靠量子纠缠和火星上的芯片通信。印度是宇宙第一。不对，宇宙都装不下印度，印度是多元宇宙第一！印度万岁的呐喊响彻时空！

（三泰虎网注：所谓量子芯片就是将量子线路集成在基片上，进而承载量子信息处理的功能。）

And you should stay inside the dic ship internet.
Let the ministers boast and clown themselves, because that's what they do. If it happens it happens. Normal people aren't stupid.

你还是待在封闭的网络环境里吧。任由这些印度部长吹牛出洋相，他们向来如此。做成了就算运气好，普通人心里都清楚真假。

India is excellent in making presentations, making speeches and promising. Ask them to talk, they will keep talking.

印度最擅长做PPT、发表演说、许下承诺。只要让他们开口，就能滔滔不绝空谈下去

 

richardfortier226
When Indians have a plan, they will announce plan openly to the whole world, brag about plan online;a large number of Indians get inspired by this plan, mock others with plan, and eventually forget about the plan. Does India know how technically challenging chip manufacturing is? Even China spent decades and nearly a trillion US dollars to achieve 5‑nm chip production. The United States has only recently been able to produce 3‑nm chips with the help of TSMC and suppliers across the globe. Yet India, with only a few Indian rupees of investment and almost zero chips talents, deludes itself into achieving 3‑nm chip production in 8 years. You can always see Indians making such absurd boasts. In fact, without importing foreign equipment and materials, India cannot even produce 1000nm chips. India even has to import LED bulbs and refrigerator compressors from China, but now India is talking about 3nm chips

印度只要拿出一项规划，就立刻向全世界高调公布，在网上大肆吹嘘。大批印度民众被带节奏，拿着规划嘲讽别国，最后却不了了之。

印度清楚芯片制造的技术门槛有多高吗？中国耗费数十年、投入近万亿美元，才实现5纳米芯片量产。美国也是依托台积电和全球众多供应商的配合，直到近期才造出3纳米芯片。

反观印度，投入资金有限，芯片领域人才几乎一片空白，却妄想8年内量产3纳米芯片。总能看到印度人说出这种不切实际的大话。事实上，如果不进口国外设备与原材料，印度连1000纳米芯片都造不出来。目前印度就连LED灯泡、冰箱压缩机都要从中国进口，居然大言不惭要造3纳米芯片。

What do you mean by saying 40nm chip? India has only achieve 180nm in a lab than achieving mass production and wuth great yeild. Hence, it doesnt make u a leader in chip fab by just buying a ASML lithography machine. Even US cant make them like TSMC does. What about the hightech and sophisticated supply chains of various industries to support chip industry of various kind. To make chips from curry powder, Saar? Designing chips, chips stacking tech, chips architecture, EDS softwares, ultra pure photoresists/monomer chemicals, mass production, testing and most importantly the supply chains are totally different stories all together. Lastly a reliable and secure supply of electricity and water in a great amount.

要造40纳米芯片？打嘴炮而已！印度只在实验室做出180纳米样品，根本没法稳定量产、保证良品率。单凭购入一台阿斯麦光刻机，成不了晶圆制造行业的领头羊。就连美国都达不到台积电的制造水平。支撑芯片产业，需要各行各业配套的高端、精密供应链，这些印度准备好了吗？难道靠咖喱粉造芯片吗？芯片设计、芯片堆叠技术、芯片架构、EDA软件、超高纯度光刻胶与化学原料、大规模量产、芯片检测，最重要的完整供应链，每一项都是截然不同的难题。除此之外，芯片生产还需要稳定、充足的水电供应。

In social media, India is always No:1 in space, military, economy, bioscience, and technology. No other country comes close!

在社交媒体上，印度在航天、军事、经济、生物科学、科技领域永远天下第一，没有任何国家能与之比肩！

 

sweetpotato3910
Too much talk and to much PPT thats only can india do, did you think build chip is easy? Before build chip you should buying or build EUV but can you build/buying EUV?

印度只会空谈和做PPT。你以为造芯片很简单吗？想要制造先进芯片，首先得采购或者自研极紫外光刻机，印度做得到吗？

 

abhisheknag7177
Good announcement, but ism 2.0 document has no plan for EUV DUV research, what if US blocks lithiography ip like they did in case of china, entire foundaries will be stuck on legacy chips.

计划听起来很不错，但是《半导体2.0》方案里完全没有布局极紫外、深紫外光刻机项目。一旦美国效仿打压中国的手段来打压印度，封锁印度获取光刻相关知识产权，印度所有晶圆厂只能停工

India is never short on dream and boasting.
Please learn to walk before even thinking of jum.

印度从来不缺少梦想，爱吹牛。先学会走路，再想着一跃千里吧。

 

yuvrajdas9552
3nm is like intel 18A. If efficiency of pantherlake is to be believed, a 3nm chip with backside power delivery would be game changing. x86 is not the future tho. RiscV is.

3纳米对标英特尔18A工艺。如果黑豹平台的能效表现属实，采用背面供电技术的3纳米芯片将会带来颠覆性改变。不过X86架构不是未来，RISC‑V才是发展方向。

 

san‑chil
3nm ... in 8 years .. meaning realistically in 80 years, just like Tejas and Kaveri jet engines. India needs a true nationalistic leader else it is doomed. Vishwaguru PM Modi is a complete failure and will not be able to fulfil the aspirations and visions of a resurgent India. India needs to become a knowledge powered economy not a halwai powered economy driven by buy and sell economies.

印度吹牛说要8年造出3纳米芯片。这怎么可能，80年造出来还差不多，光辉战机、卡佛里发动机就是前车之鉴。

印度需要真正有民族担当的领导人，否则这个国家前途渺茫。自诩世界导师的莫迪总理彻底失败，无法实现印度复兴的愿景。印度要转型知识驱动型经济体，而不是依靠小商贩买卖贸易维持的经济。
