By most accounts, it appears that the US has lost its global leadership in semiconductor fabrication, as companies are now opting for offshore chip manufacturing for its lower costs. With heavy reliance on foreign fabs, the effect of the ongoing chip shortage was also more pronounced for the US due to a more complex international supply chain.
To address these challenges and revive its competitiveness in semiconductors, the U.S. Congress has passed legislation known as the “CHIPS and Science Act 2022” which contains more than $200 billion as direct appropriations and authorizations to bolster the state of the semiconductor industry in the United States. In this white paper, we lay down the key features of this massive CHIPS funding and discuss its multifaceted impacts on the US education system.

About Rayan: I’m an engineer with a Ph.D. degree and 7+ years of technical writing experience. My experience as an engineer has been very diverse. I have solved problems in domains ranging from semiconductor/electronics engineering to software development and a few sub-domains of AI. Working around with such interdisciplinary problems has made me a quick learner of any new technical concepts. I communicate complex ideas and concepts. Over the years, I have written for a variety of audiences including internal engineering teams, B2B businesses and venture capitalists etc.
