What are IoT sensors?

 IoT combines connectivity with sensors, devices and people, enabling a form of free-flowing
conversation between man and machine, software and hardware.
 Sensors measure characteristics of physical objects and then convert this information into a
signal. With the growing Internet of Things (IoT) dominance, sensors are playing a pivotal role in
enabling communication between devices over the Internet.
 Sensors are being embedded into numerous IoT applications ranging from electricity, networks,
infrastructure, to mobile, wearable, home automation and security devices.
 By IoT sensor type, the market primarily includes accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers,
pressure sensors, temperature sensors and light sensors.

The building blocks of IoT

IoT comes to life when its multiple building blocks simultaneously operate and communicate with
each other:

Semiconductor manufacturing process

 The process of manufacturing semiconductors, or integrated circuits (commonly called ICs, or
chips) typically consists of more than a hundred steps, during which hundreds of copies of an
integrated circuit are formed on a single wafer.
 The two basic stages in chip production are known as the “front end” and the “back end.” The
front end involves materials preparation (circuit design, photomask making and the manufacture
of raw wafers) and wafer processing/ fabrication (repeated cycles of deposition, etch, doping,
planarization, and in-process testing). The back end consists of assembly, packaging and final
test operations.

Wafer Wafer Assembly &

Dicing
production fabrication packaging

Stage Description
Wafer production  In this stage, silicon wafers are created from raw silicon.

 Separate wafer companies perform this process; few semiconductor

device makers produce their own wafers.
Wafer fabrication /  The fabrication process takes place in a clean room, wherein wafers are
front end run through a series of chemical and lithographical processes to etch the
processing transistor array and interconnects.
 This is the longest, most complex and most costly stage of semiconductor
manufacturing. Fabbed semiconductor producers and foundry suppliers
perform this process. Typically it takes from 10 to 30 days to complete the
fabrication process.
Dicing  The processed wafer is chopped into individual die using a diamond drill.
This is done at the beginning of the back end process.
Assembly and test /  Individual die are placed into a plastic or ceramic package and tiny wire
back end bonding is used to connect the input/output gates on the chip to the leads
processing on the outside of the package. The finished device is then tested.
 Assembly is done either by fabbed semiconductor producers or by third-
party outsourcers; test is usually done in-house by both fabbed and
fabless chip producers but can be outsourced.

Sensors are based on analog integrated circuits, which work by processing continuous signals.
Sensor technology is driven by key factors such as low cost, chip level integration, low power and
wireless connectivity. Many newer sensors are built using micro-fabrication techniques such as
MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology. This provides huge advantages including
lower power consumption, small size and light weight.

*In April 2016, JP Associates has withdrawn its proposal for the semiconductor plant.

 Gujarat is expected to have its first semiconductor wafer fabrication manufacturing facility by late
2017 in Prantij of Sabarkantha district, near Gandhinagar.
 The facility includes two manufacturing units each with capacity of producing 20,000 wafers per
month and will be set up by Hindustan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (HSMC) along
with ST Microelectronics (France) and Silterra (Malaysia). The facility is expected to employ over
25,000 people including 4,000 direct employees.
 The outlay of the proposed fab is about INR25,250 crore for the fab facility of 40,000 wafer starts
per month of 300 mm size, using advanced CMOS technology. Technology nodes proposed are
90, 65 and 45 nm nodes in Phase I, and 45, 28 and 22 nm nodes in Phase II.
 The incentives from GoI are available under the Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme
(M-SIPS) and deduction available for expenditure on R&D under the Income Tax Act.
 In addition, fab facilities will also be eligible for investment linked deduction under Section 35AD
of the Income Tax Act. The government will provide Viability Gap Funding (VGF) in the form of
an interest free loan for a period of 10 years.

Example of a recent grant for developing sensors

The Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (C-MET) has been granted INR200 crore in
the Union Budget to indigenously develop advanced sensors, such as iris sensors and movement-
based sensors, for use in smart cities. The institute has its headquarters in Pune and has centres
in Thrissur and Hyderabad.
