President-elect Donald J. Trump has indicated the CHIPS and Science Act passed under the Biden Administration could be on the chopping block once he takes office on Jan. 20, 2025. This signals a potential shift away from supporting U.S. semiconductor manufacturing efforts.
Brandon Lucia emphasizes that the success of the CHIPS Act depends on substantial funding, advancements in manufacturing capabilities, and a thriving ecosystem of innovators in the U.S., especially amid the rising demand for powerful, energy-efficient chips.
Lucia predicts that as demand for powerful chips grows, chipmakers will prioritize energy efficiency and address sustainable manufacturing practices to mitigate environmental impacts like water runoff and carbon footprints, making these considerations critical for the future.
The federal government's indicated plan to cut back over $500 million funding for Intel's fabrication facilities, amidst the company’s layoffs and financial challenges, further complicates the landscape for semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S.
