The Semiconductor Industry Calls For Bold Federal Policy

The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) has issued a series of government policy recommendations to maintain and strengthen the US's global leadership in semiconductor technology and to ensure that the United States wins the use of transformative, semiconductor technology competitions, including artificial intelligence. CE, quantum computing and advanced wireless networks.

The report, "Winning the Future: The US's Blueprint for Continuous Leadership in Semiconductor Technology," urges US government leaders to significantly increase their investment in semiconductor research, help attract and develop the world's most skilled workforce, and ensure an open market. And strong protection of intellectual property. TY. SIA represents the United States in leadership in semiconductor manufacturing, design and research.

Sanjay Mehrotra, President and CEO of Micron Technology, said: "Global technology leadership has never been as important as it is now, and it poses such a big threat to the future economic growth and competitiveness of the United States." "The countries leading semiconductor innovation will also lead the next Wave technology advances and affects every aspect of the economy and life. We call on Washington leaders to formulate policies that will allow us to stand at the forefront of future technology."

The “Blueprint for the Future” victory highlights two core challenges facing continued semiconductor innovation and US leadership in this area. First, advances in semiconductor technology are pushing physical barriers, breaking these limits and putting the US at the forefront, requiring more investment in research. Second, although the US semiconductor industry leads the world with nearly half of the world's market share, overseas governments such as China are seeking to challenge US leadership through substantial investments to achieve breakthroughs in semiconductor technology, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing.

The report identifies three areas of domestic policy: research, labor, and trade/intellectual property protection, requiring urgent government action to ensure that the United States responds to these challenges and maintains its global leadership in semiconductor technology and semiconductor revolutionary technology.

Research: In the next five years, federal investment in semiconductor-specific research will increase from about $1.5 billion to $5 billion a year, and federal investment in semiconductor-related research will increase from $20 billion a year to $40 billion. The fields of materials science and computer science have tripled. Engineering and applied mathematics across federal scientific institutions.

Labor: The blueprint requires that green card caps be removed for qualified STEM graduates to meet short-term talent needs. To develop the future US semiconductor workforce, the report urges the federal government to increase STEM education funding from more than $1 billion a year to more than $1.5 billion over the next five years, and implement a national STEM education initiative to make US STEM graduates by 2029. The number has doubled.

Trade and Intellectual Property Protection: The Blueprint urges the approval of free trade agreements, including the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, to eliminate market barriers, protect intellectual property rights, and achieve fair competition. It also calls for increased resources for law enforcement and intelligence agencies to prevent and sue semiconductor intellectual property theft.

John Neuffer, President and CEO of Singapore Airlines, said: "The major challenges of many societies can be solved through the brains of our digital world - micro-semiconductors." "The long-term leadership of the US in semiconductor technology depends on three. Big Pillar: pioneering research by US companies, unparalleled workforce, and unrestricted ability to sell cutting-edge products to customers around the world. Congress and government should develop policies to strengthen these pillars and keep the US a leader in semiconductor technology."
