Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited has inaugurated a new OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) facility in Sanand, Gujarat, in partnership with Kaynes Semicon, marking a significant expansion of its global manufacturing footprint.
The facility has commenced high-volume production of AOS’s IPM5 (Intelligent Power Modules), which integrate 17 dies into a single package to enable advanced motor control and energy-efficient applications. The implementation of AOS’s proprietary IPM5 process at the site represents a key step in localizing advanced semiconductor packaging capabilities in India.
The project aligns with the broader objectives of the India Semiconductor Mission and highlights increasing momentum toward regional diversification of semiconductor supply chains. The rapid execution—from groundbreaking to production in just 14 months—demonstrates accelerated ecosystem development in India’s semiconductor manufacturing landscape.
From a strategic perspective, the collaboration combines AOS’s device and module expertise with Kaynes Semicon’s manufacturing capabilities, creating a scalable platform for both domestic and global markets. The facility is positioned not only to serve India’s growing demand for power semiconductors but also to support international supply chains under a “Made in India, for the World” approach.
From a market standpoint, this move reflects a broader industry trend toward geographic diversification of backend manufacturing, particularly in power semiconductors where packaging and integration (e.g., IPMs) are critical value drivers. It also underscores India’s emerging role as a strategic hub for OSAT and power electronics manufacturing, supported by government initiatives and increasing global investment.
