Seeking Alpha cited CSET's Will Hunt's policy brief in an article that talks about the CHIPS Act, a plan that intends to revive the US semiconductor industry but with associated risks in its implementation

America’s lead in advanced computing is almost gone

Georgetown Public Policy Review
| February 28, 2023

The Georgetown Public Policy Review recently published a paper that cited a report by CSET's Jack Corrigan, Emily S. Weinstein, Dahlia Peterson, and Ryan Fedasiuk, and CSET alumni Remco Zwetsloot and Diana Gehlhaus. The report examines data on STEM PhD graduation rates and predicts their growth in the next five years, during which China is expected to increase its lead over the United States.

CSET Non-Resident Fellow John VerWey discussed ways to maximize CHIPS and Science Act investments to secure the U.S. semiconductor supply chain.

Chips Act Will Test Whether U.S. Can Reverse Semiconductor Exodus

The Wall Street Journal referred to a policy brief by CSET's Will Hunt, which analyzes how incentives from the CHIPS Act should be allocated among various types of chips. The article talks about the $53 billion CHIPS Act program, which aims to revive the domestic semiconductor industry by offering subsidies for manufacturing incentives and research and development.

The U.S. semiconductor supply chain’s resilience will meaningfully increase only if current efforts to re-shore fabrication (that is, to situate more facilities that make its key parts in the United States) are met with commensurate efforts to re-shore upstream material production along with downstream assembly, test, and packaging (ATP) of finished microelectronics.

China is moving closer to its aim of being a world leader in artificial intelligence by 2030, according to a CSET report due to semiconductors made by American companies.

A CSET report finds that 30,000 high-tech workers would be needed to staff the construction of new semiconductor manufacturing plants.

A CEST report found that the Chinese military is reliant on American technologies and advanced chip production capacity in Taiwan and South Korea for procuring its AI chips.

Ask the Experts: Is China’s Semiconductor Strategy Working?

Research Fellow Emily Weinstein answers whether China's "Made in China 2025” to increase semiconductor production is actually working.

In Part II of her OODA Loop interview, Senior Advisor Melissa Flagg discussed operational capabilities required to provide true foundational leadership in the semiconductor industry of the future, the talent pipeline challenge, and scenario planning after the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act.
