electronicsweekly.com, Apr. 04, 2019 – 

The SIA has produced a report asking the US government for more support.

Specific actions suggested are:

1 Invest in research that will promote American semiconductor innovation.

  • Triple U.S. investments in semiconductor-specific research across federal scientific agencies from approximately $1.5 billion to $5 billion annually to advance new materials, designs, and architectures that will exponentially increase chip performance.
  • Double U.S. research investments in semiconductor-related fields such as materials science, computer science, engineering, and applied mathematics across federal scientific agencies to spur leap-ahead innovations in semiconductor technology that will drive key technologies of the future, including artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and advanced wireless networks.
