State of the Industry: Semiconductor Insiders Discuss the Ambitions and Realities of the CHIPS Act

The chip shortage made us all think about the precarious semiconductor supply chain. In response, the US government has moved to bolster the domestic industry. The CHIPS and Science Act was signed into law in August 2022, but we are still waiting to see its impact on US semiconductor manufacturing.

In this podcast, we are joined by three industry insiders:

Rich Simoncic, EVP of Microchip Technology.

Russ Garcia, CEO of Menlo Micro.

Michael Knight, President & CEO at Endries International.

They will give us their perspective on the CHIPS Act and what should be done to improve the supply chain. In this engaging discussion, the group is hosted by our Moore’s Lobby host, Daniel Bogdanoff. Their discussion includes:

-The confusing relationship between the CHIPS Act and the current state of the supply chain. 

-The challenges of getting advanced R&D across the “valley of death.”

-Is it enough?

-The technologies and nodes that might be overlooked.

-What should a CHIPS Act 2 invest in?
