Modern semiconductors innovation has a strong relation to scale and skill. While India has a significant demand for semiconductors, it has a daunting challenge to create a semiconductor ecosystem. Yet, India has quietly come a long way. Starting with Centers of Excellence in Nanoelectronics (CENs) initiated in 2006 and broad science and technology funding, India has transformed its nanoelectronics research ecosystem. From negligible contributions as late as 2011, India has risen to be a top contributor to IEEE Electron Devices journals today. Our study presents important observations in terms of ecosystem development. First, there is a 6 year incubation time from infrastructure initiation to first papers. Then, 4 more years to become globally competitive. Second, growth in experimental research is essential along with modeling and simulations. Finally, the aspirational goals of translational research to contribute to the global technology roadmap requires cutting edge manufacturing infrastructure and ecosystem access, which still needs development. The learning informs a call to action for the research ecosystem i.e. academia, industry, and policy-makers. First, sustain and amplify successful strategies of national research infrastructure and funding growth. Second, enhance international collaborations to add further scale and infrastructure to RnD. Finally, strengthen the industry-academia-policy consortium approach to transform to an innovation-based economy. Ultimately, the electron devices community is entering an exciting phase where Beyond Moore offers open opportunities in materials, devices to systems, and algorithms. India must build on its success to play a significant role in this new world of disruptive innovation.

印度在纳米电子学研究中的崛起

现代半导体创新与规模和技能息息相关。尽管印度对半导体有大量需求，但要创建半导体生态系统却面临着艰巨的挑战。然而，印度已经悄悄地走了很长一段路。从2006年启动的纳米电子卓越中心（CEN）以及广泛的科学和技术资助开始，印度已经改变了其纳米电子研究生态系统。从2011年以来的微不足道的贡献，印度已成为当今IEEE电子设备期刊的主要贡献者。我们的研究提出了有关生态系统发展的重要观察。首先，从基础架构启动到首次发表论文，需要6年的孵化时间。然后，再过4年就具有全球竞争力。其次，实验研究的增长与建模和仿真一起至关重要。最后，要为全球技术路线图做出贡献的转化研究的理想目标需要最先进的制造基础设施和生态系统准入，而这仍然需要发展。该学习为研究生态系统（即学术界，行业和决策者）呼吁采取行动。首先，维持和扩大国家研究基础设施和资金增长的成功战略。第二，加强国际合作，为RnD增加规模和基础设施。最后，加强产业-学术-政策联盟，以转变为创新型经济。最终，电子设备社区进入了一个令人兴奋的阶段，其中Beyond Moore为材料，设备，系统和算法提供了开放的机会。
