We build open-source semiconductor fabrication tools to make hands-on fabrication accessible to students across India.
The HackerFab IITB team presenting to India's semiconductor community for the first time.
1 µm feature size achieved on our home-built lithography system.
Closed-loop control up to 6000 rpm. Fully student-built and open-source.
Our first deposition tool — thin film deposition coming soon.
±2 °C precision up to 1100 °C for oxidation and annealing.
"Making hands-on chip fabrication accessible across India."
Founded in August 2025, we're a group of students determined to democratize technology and foster innovation.
We are part of the HackerFab network, aiming to become a stepping stone to the semiconductor industry.
Why should TSMC have all the fun?
Integrating our tools with coursework at IITB
Sharing tools, documentation and knowledge freely
Join our Discord! Spreading this movement all over India
Check out our journey so far, documentation and resources attached with each step.
Achieved a pattern image of 1µm feature size.
Demonstrated closed loop control up to 6000rpm
Our first deposition tool!
+/-2 degrees C at target temperatures up to 1100 degrees C
Constantly trying to expand our community and bring HackerFab to more colleges across India.
Growing our network of makers, students, and innovators across colleges in India. We aim to establish chapters and partnerships with institutions nationwide.
Presenting our work at major technical conferences across India to share knowledge, inspire others, and connect with the broader maker and research community.
Establishing HackerFab presence at multiple institutions, creating a collaborative network for sharing resources, expertise, and opportunities.
Key milestones in our story so far.
Presented HackerFab IITB at VLSI Design 2026 (VLSID) and won Best Project Presentation
We captured our first micrometer scale patterns on Litho v1
Expanded our outreach beyond IITB, growing to a 40 member strong community on Discord
Presented proof-of-concepts for spin coater and lithography machine. Part of the panel discussion on "Advancing India's Semiconductor Ecosystem"
Reached our first major community milestone.
First functional fabrication workspace established.
The beginning of our journey to democratize fabrication.
