Hey folks, guess what? The selection committee just announced the awesome leaders who will be running the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC)! This is a big deal because the NSTC is the core research and development component of the CHIPS for America program by the Department of Commerce. It’s going to be a hub of collaboration for the semiconductor industry, bringing together manufacturers and suppliers to accelerate innovation and make technology more accessible. How cool is that?
The newly selected board members are now going to create a nonprofit entity to oversee the NSTC and hire executive leadership. Once that’s done, the Department of Commerce will provide funding so that the NSTC can start operating. It’s all about bringing semiconductor manufacturing back to America and boosting our national and economic security.
The selection committee members, Janet Foutty, John Hennessy, Jason Matheny, Donald J. Rosenberg, and Brenda Darden Wilkerson, are super excited about this opportunity. They believe that the NSTC will be a game-changer for the semiconductor industry, making it the best in the world. These board members are experts in their fields and are dedicated to giving back to the American microelectronics sector.
Secretary of Commerce, Gina Raimondo, is also thrilled about the NSTC. She says it’s going to supercharge chip technology and innovation across the country. The goal is to make the U.S. a leader in semiconductor research and development. We want cutting-edge developments in chip design and manufacturing to happen right here in America. How awesome would that be?
Laurie E. Locascio, Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and NIST Director, believes that the NSTC will provide our manufacturing industry with the technological advances needed to stay competitive. It will also help train the next generation of workers to make these advanced products. We’re investing in the future!
The NSTC is part of the CHIPS and Science Act, which aims to revitalize America’s leadership in semiconductors. It established several research and development programs, including the NSTC, the National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program, new Manufacturing USA institutes, and the CHIPS R&D Metrology Program. President Biden is all about investing in America, creating jobs, and making us competitive in the 21st century.
So, there you have it! Exciting news for the semiconductor industry and for America. The NSTC is going to be a game-changer, bringing innovation, collaboration, and economic growth. We’re ready to lead the world in semiconductor research and development. Let’s go!
