Semiconductor Opportunity
" Apart from these captives and subsidiaries of multinational
corporations, the number of semiconductor design start-ups in the
country is expected to ramp up from 710 in 2006 to nearly 3,250 by
2015, ISA said in a note
" According to industry estimates, designing a cutting-edge chip built
on a silicon wafer as thin as 65 nanometre can cost anywhere $30-
$40 million, and it is this cost that many companies are looking to
mitigate by outsourcing work to destinations such as India and
Eastern Europe
" While the semiconductor market continues to grow, Indian hubs of
Bangalore, capital New Delhi and the region surrounding it,
Hyderabad and Chennai will increase the export of semiconductor
design services from $4.6 billion at present to $43 billion by 2015,
employing more than 780,000 professionals. The industry employs
more than 121,000 today
" India is already the world’s fastest growing market for mobile phone
services, and global vendors have set up production here in the last
two years

Specific Requirement of the Industry
# The basic skill required for a chip designer varies depending on the domain
that one desires to specialize in, but in general strong background in
electrical/electronics engineering and computer engineering is essential.
# Since the advances in VLSI happen at a rapid pace, ability to quickly and
continuously learn is a must.
# In terms of specific skills, knowledge in following areas is required: digital
design fundamentals, VHDL/Verilog, simulation and synthesis tools,
computer architecture.
# To deal with the dearth of chip designers some companies are tying up with
institutes offering training in chip design. If you do not have enough
experience, you can take up a short-term course.
# Besides technical skills, it is equally important for an individual to work on
enhancing his/her soft skills. Cross cultural work environments, demanding
customers, deadlines and expanded job roles have made it imperative for
employees to possess skills that go beyond just technical expertise.
# Effective communication skills, interpersonal skills, problem solving abilities,
customer orientation etc are important for an individual to succeed in their
roles.
