In response to US President Biden's recent proposal to invest $2.25 trillion in infrastructure, which includes the CHIPS for America Act to allocate $500 billion to subsidize the US semiconductor industry, as many as 64 semiconductor-related companies including Microsoft, Apple, Intel, AMD, Samsung, NXP, Infineon, and even TSMC have formed a semiconductor alliance called "SIAC" to promote chip manufacturing capabilities in the United States.
Prior to this, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger called on the United States to focus on designing and producing its own chips.The value broughtNot only can we concentrate the advantages of technological development in our own hands, but we can also avoid problems such as supply shortages caused by shortages of external cooperative outsourcing resources.
Although most of the mainstream chips currently used are designed by companies in the United States, a considerable proportion are outsourced for production, which is obviously an imbalance. Therefore, many people have called for the promotion of chip production in the United States. In a recent public statement, US President Biden also stated that he will use $2.25 trillion to promote infrastructure construction plans, including a $500 billion American Chip Manufacturing Act to subsidize the US semiconductor industry.
The semiconductor alliance, called "SIAC" (Semiconductors in America Coalition), is composed of 64 semiconductor-related companies including Microsoft, Apple, Intel, AMD, Samsung, NXP, Infineon and TSMC. It plans to seek subsidies from the US government based on the similar demands of the participating members.
FromRelated statement contentSIAC aims to promote chip manufacturing and semiconductor-related research in the United States, thereby boosting the U.S. economy, national security, and the development of key technologies. SIAC's primary goal is to address the current chip supply shortage. Its long-term goal is to actively promote the domestic chip design and production ecosystem, supported by U.S. government funding.
