Nanoelectronics Innovation Council: Scope
• Entire electronics systems hardware infrastructure enabled by
Nanoelectronics technology.
• Future smart systems – fusion of computing, communication and
sensing
- healthcare, security, smart grids, automative, energy, IT, agriculture, lifestyle,
communications
Nanoelectronics manufacturing - Higher capital costs & complex
technology know-how
– but allows for batch processing reducing the cost/chip eventually
DeitY programme on Nanotechnology Initiatives (since 2004)
Objectives:
• Competence building, Research and Development in
Nanoelectronics
• Create infrastructure for research in nanoelectronics
and nanometrology at the national level
• Establish Nanoelectronics Centres
• Take up small and medium research projects in
specific areas of nanoelectronics
such as
nanomaterials, nanodevices, carbon nano tubes,
nanosystems etc.
• Commercialization and Industry Promotion of
Nanoelectronics/nanotechnology
The DeitY Nanotechnology programme is as big & prominent as the DST Nano-mission initiative. India is ranked 3 rd
in the world now in Nanotechnology research, only behind China & USA.
DeitY programme on Nanotechnology Initiatives
Major Achievements:
36 R&D Projects initiated since 2004 with total outlay of about Rs.
657 Cr
• Nanoelectronics Centres at IIT Bombay & IISc Bangalore
- ZnO based Piezoelectric microphone

DeitY Innovation Council on Nanoelectronics:
Vision & Mission
Use nanotechnology/nanoelectronic devices/concepts to
produce products and services that are affordable for people
at the bottom of the pyramid by catering to India’s expanding
requirements in consumer, healthcare, security, strategic,
energy and agricultural areas and thereby gain technology
leadership.

Fund projects that have a product/system
focus with clearly defined deployment
strategy.
Funds open to industries, start-ups, individuals,
academic institutions with a close monitoring of
Nanoelectronics
project progress
Innovation
coincil
Nanoelectronics
Innovation Council
Regional incubation Centres for
Nanoelectronics aligned with
the technology platforms
Education

problems, Faculty training programs, Innovation
awards, Hands on training
IIT Bombay
Action Items
1. Creation of common infrastructure & Technology Platforms that can be jointly
funded through public-private partnerships, which can be opened to
users/industries through pay per use program*
2. Specifically seek product/system oriented proposals
3. Projects must have a comprehensive policy for their final deployment - inputs of
concerned ministries/industry are of utmost relevance.
4. Create regional level innovation centres and match them with the technology
platforms developed in the Centres of Excellence in Nanoelectronics (CEN).
5. Establish awards for innovators
6. Faculty training programmes in Nanoelectronics applications/innovation*
7. Rural exposure to Ph.D. students by linking them with rural NGOs.
8. Exposure to start-up culture for Ph.D. students through targeted award
programmes
* DeitY has already taken initiatives through CEN & INUP programmes in leading institutions in the country.
