In 1975\, Japan's government began investing in semiconductor te chnology with their largest firms. Their focused DRAM program rapidly capt ured 50% of the semiconductor market and drove most US DRAM companies from the market. The US responded with the Very High Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program in 1980. By the end of the 1980s\, the Berlin Wall fell a nd the US maintained its leadership in supercomputers. In 1983\, Korea joi ned the world competition\, beginning development of DRAM products. By 199 3\, they had overtaken the Japanese and have become the leading supplier o f DRAM. In the 1990s\, they developed non-volatile NAND Flash products and became the leading supplier of all commodity memory products by the 2000s . During the same time period\, Taiwan entered the semiconductor foundry m arket focused on highly integrated logic chips\, investing in increasing c ostly factories. By the 2000s\, they became the leader in silicon foundrie s and the US went increasingly fabless\, with companies such as Apple\, Qu alcomm\, AMD\, and Nvidia depending upon offshore foundries. In 2014\, Chi na launched its $150B Big Fund to become competitive in the world market. By 2022\, a focused Chinese effort in 5G wireless communication has made t hem a world leader in this technology and they are gaining ground in memor y and logic. The most semiconductors are no longer being manufactured in t he US. Taiwan and Korea have gained technical leadership. As Moore’s Law hits the wall\, new Beyond Moore technologies in semiconductor process an d packaging require us to maintain our semiconductor leadership so that we keep computer leadership and security.\n\nMatt Francis reviews the detail s of the $52B CHIPS Act. The Act subsidizes and expands existing facilitie s to increase onshore supply\, returns leading edge manufacturing to the U S\, reinforces our traditional strengths in chip design and equipment\, an d grows the US Workforce to support the expanded manufacturing. New techno logy centers strengthen R&D throughout all regions of the US.\n\nSpeaker(s ): David Bondurant\, A.
