ASML and Tata Electronics have signed a memorandum of understanding to deploy ASML's lithography equipment at India's first front-end semiconductor fab, a 300mm facility under construction in Dholera, Gujarat.The deal was signed during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the Netherlands, with Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten also present, and covers lithography tools, talent development, and supply chain support for a fab backed by $11 billion in total investment.It was reported last month that civil construction at the Dholera site has reached roughly 50% completion. The project required a major redesign late last year after soil testing found the ground too soft and saline for the original structural plan, though it was said at the time that the changes wouldn’t delay the project’s overall timeline, and trial production is still targeted for later this year.Get Tom's Hardware's best news and in-depth reviews, straight to your inbox.Follow Tom's Hardware on Google News, or add us as a preferred source, to get our latest news, analysis, & reviews in your feeds.
