The CHIPS And Science Act Is Reestablishing The Needed Pillars For American Semiconductor Ecosystem
Photo by Mayer Tawfik on Unsplash It has been one year since the US passed the CHIPS And Science Act. Ever since then, the American semiconductor ecosystem has seen a lot of activities and ground progress. It is evident from the expansion of Intel’s network of FABs in the US and the almost complete 5nm ultra-advanced node (subsequently 3nm) FAB21 of TSMC in Phoenix, Arizona. The CHIPS And Science Act has also re-energized the semiconductor ecosystem in Texas, where Samsung is creating a new semiconductor cluster in the City of Taylor, Texas. Similarly, Micron Technologies, GlobalFoundries, Texas Instruments, SkyWater, and many other semiconductor Pure Play and IDMs have planned new semiconductor manufacturing plants. It is not only the semiconductor manufacturing part of the supply chain that the CHIPS And Science […]
