INFIfab will enable the development and translation of magnetically actuated, multifunctional nanobots for biomedical sensing, targeted therapy, and advanced diagnostics, including future integration with quantum-enabled measurements. The program will prioritise biocompatibility, precise control, and scalable manufacturing to enable clinical deployment across applications ranging from dentistry to oncology.

Advanced packaging is the future of the 8 ATMPs and OSATs that are being built with support from the India Semiconductor Mission. Today, they are importing technology. But tomorrow, they will find indigenous solutions that INFIfab will provide. INFIfab will develop critical base technologies such as TSV wafer bonding and interposers. It will also offer prototyping services, allowing ideas and materials to be demonstrated at scale.

INFIFab will establish a pilot-scale MEMS fabrication and packaging line to support rapid prototyping and low-volume production. INFIFab will also advance next-generation MEMS platforms—including piezo-MEMS, wafer-scale packaging, and opto-MEMS—enabling future systems in medical imaging, communications, safety, and optical sensing.

INFIfab will facilitate the development of innovative microfluidic device architectures and high-resolution 3D printing methods to enable large-scale integration and rapid cell screening.

INFIfab will drive the development of multiplexed solid-state nanopore devices capable of simultaneously detecting multiple DNA targets, enabling applications such as liquid biopsy for early cancer detection and rapid classification of infectious diseases.

INFIfab will support the development of bioengineered scaffolds that actively direct neurite growth and promote synaptic integration, along with sub-micron 3D electrode arrays for high-resolution neural sensing.

INFIFab will establish comprehensive prototyping facilities for IR sensors and Micro-LED optoelectronics, providing indigenous, export-control-resilient capabilities accessible to startups and industry.

The National Quantum Mision (NQM) has identified IISc as the hub for Quantum Communication vertical. The central facility for fabricating superconducting and photonic qubit processors will be housed in INFIfab. INFIfab will launch programs to develop architecture and technology for quantum interconnects and quantum memory. It will also develop accessories and systems, to realise a 1000-bit quantum computer, which is the goal of the NQM.

Wide bandgap semiconductors such as GaN and SiC are essential for high-power, high-frequency electronics, enabling major gains in energy efficiency, power density, and system miniaturisation across electric vehicles, data centres, and advanced communications.

IISc is one of the four hubs of the National Quantum Mission. INFIfab will host a central facility for quantum technology with an investment of ₹350 Cr. The IISc quantum hub will fabricate India’s first quantum chip by 2030.

Quantum Research Park (QuRP) at IISc, funded by the Govt of Karnataka supports faculty led R&D initiatives, and provides mentorship and access to equipment clusters for startups.

Wadhwani Innovation Network Center of Excellence (WIN-CoE) for Quantum Technologies at IISc is an initiative by the Wadhwani Charitable Foundation, USA, aimed at driving interdisciplinary research and innovation in Quantum Science & Technologies for real-world solutions.

The Indian Nanoelectronics Users' Program (INUP) funded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) plays a transformative role in strengthening India's nanoelectronics ecosystem by enabling capacity building, fostering innovation, and facilitating research-to-market translation.

The Sensor Technologies for Security Program by DRDO aims to translate high-TRL sensors into deployable systems, advance next-gen sensor R&D aligned with its 20-year roadmap, and bridge gaps hindering tech transfer.

Incubate and mentor microfabrication start-ups from idea to market.

In the areas of next-gen computing, advanced packaging, quantum technologies, photonics, compound semi, and MEMS.

Bridge research and manufacturing by providing testing, prototyping, and benchmarking.
