Which academic institution was responsible for designing the IRIS chip based on the SHAKTI microprocessor, India's push for self-reliance in semiconductor technology, in February 2025?
IIT Madras
The SHAKTI microprocessor programme is an indigenous RISC-V based processor initiative developed at IIT Madras.
Building on this work, IIT Madras designed the IRIS (Indigenous RISC-V Controller for IoT and Sensor applications) microcontroller chip, which was fabricated using an Indian process line as part of the country's semiconductor self-reliance push and was unveiled in early 2025.
IIT Delhi, NIT Trichy and IISc Bangalore were not the designers of this SHAKTI-based IRIS chip.
Hence, the institution responsible for the IRIS chip based on the SHAKTI microprocessor is IIT Madras.
