In his CSET report Research Analyst Will Hunt makes the case that even with the construction of new U.S. fabs through the CHIPS Act, a few thousand foreigns workers with semiconductor manufacturing experience will need to be hired.

In his CSET report, Research Analyst Will Hunt explains the importance of leading-node logic and memory chips for advanced computing capabilities.

CSET Research Fellow Emily Weinstein and CSET Non-Resident Senior Fellow Kevin Wolf discussed their proposal for a new export control regime among techno-democracies to better address contemporary challenges.

Research Analyst Will Hunt makes the case for the CHIPS Act funding to be distributed between different semiconductor companies and not solely Intel.

If the U.S. is to succeed in semiconductor manufacturing, the recruitment of foreign-born talent to the U.S. is needed according to Research Analyst Will Hunt in an interview with the South China Morning Post.

CSET submitted this comment to the Department of Commerce to inform incentives, infrastructure, and research and development needed to support a strong domestic semiconductor industry.

Will Hunt's webinar and research offers key points on advancing U.S. competitiveness in semiconductor manufacturing.

In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, Research Analyst Will Hunt debates the merits of subsidizing the manufacturing of semiconductors in the United States. 

CHIPS for America Act funding will result in the construction of new semiconductor fabrication facilities (“fabs”) in the United States, employing tens of thousands of workers. This policy brief assesses the occupations and backgrounds that will be most in-demand among new fabs, as well as options for ensuring availability of the necessary talent. Findings suggest the need for new immigration pathways for experienced foreign fab workers, and investments in workforce development.

Since 1990, the U.S. share of global semiconductor manufacturing capacity has declined while the shares of China, South Korea, and Taiwan have increased. If carefully targeted, CHIPS for America Act incentives could reverse this trend for the types of chips that matter most to U.S. national security. In this policy brief, the author assesses how CHIPS Act incentives should be distributed across different types of chips.
