A semiconductor is an entity possessing particular electrical characteristics that enable it to function as the foundation for electronic gadgets and other technical apparatuses. It is typically a solid chemical element or compound that conducts electricity in some situations but not in others. This makes it an excellent medium for controlling electrical current and household electrical appliances. For instance, Tata Electronics starts building India's first semiconductor fab. In February 2024, the Indian government approved Tata Electronics Rs. 91,000 crores bid to build the semiconductor fab, following an invitation for proposals to kickstart a Make in India semiconductor ecosystem.
