Are You Ready to Redefine Semiconductors and Power What’s Next?
The semiconductor industry doesn't run on chips alone. It runs on the designs that define them, the equipment that makes them and the fabs that produce them at scale — and today, every one of those layers is being reshaped by AI, geopolitics and relentless time-to-market pressure.
For over 30 years, HCLTech has engineered across all three.
- We design and deliver turnkey silicon from spec to parts.
- We co-engineer the tools and platforms of the world's leading equipment makers.
- And we run, optimize and digitalize fab and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) operations across the globe.
Whether you're a chipmaker, an equipment original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or a fab operator — you'll find a partner here who speaks your language and owns your outcome.
Three Dedicated Practices. One Semiconductor Partner.

Advanced Semiconductor Lab
One partner. Every stage. From first silicon to production.
HCLTech operates state-of-the-art labs across the semiconductor value chain, driving innovation and excellence from design to fabrication.
Getting silicon to production is harder than it should be - validation in one lab, qualification in another, failure analysis somewhere else and every handoff a schedule risk.
The Advanced Semiconductor Lab (ASL) was purpose-built to end that fragmentation: a 40,000 sq. ft. facility that consolidates the entire post-silicon workflow—electrical validation, ATE testing, AEC-Q100 and JEDEC JESD22 qualification, failure analysis and inhouse surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly—under one roof and one engineering ownership chain.
Capability highlights:
- Class 1K & 10K cleanrooms · 24/7 secure VPN access
- Full reliability suite — HTOL, HAST, ESD, temperature cycling, latch-up
- Advanced failure analysis — SEM, FIB circuit edit, 3D X-ray, Micro CT, CSAM, wafer micro-probing
- In-house SMT line — vacuum reflow, 3D inspection, flying probe
- ISO/IEC 17025 accredited

Frequently Asked Questions about Semiconductor Services
Absolutely. We have the expertise and resources to take full ownership of the chip design process, from product specification through to tapeout and qualification. Our “Spec to Platform” approach covers front-end and back-end design, validation, prototyping and manufacturing, delivering turnkey semiconductor services and solutions with accountability at every stage.
We use AIForce.Semi and AIForce.Test to accelerate chip design and testing. These tools automate specification analysis, test case generation and design verification. Our GenAI accelerators simplify test code generation and validation workflows, enabling faster development, improved accuracy and reduced costs.
We help OEMs extend equipment life through hardware and software obsolescence management, operating system migration and end-of-life planning. Our field escalation support resolves issues quickly on deployed systems, minimizing downtime and protecting customer relationships.
We deliver end-to-end fab operations support, including equipment installation, maintenance, process engineering and cleanroom operations. We also implement MES solutions inside customer fabs using KPI- and SLA-based managed services models, providing a single accountable partner.
Our flagship facility is the Advanced Semiconductor Lab in Bengaluru. It is a 40,000 sq. ft. facility with Class 1K and 10K cleanrooms, AEC-Q100 and JEDEC JESD22 qualification and a full failure analysis suite.
