CHIPS & SCIENCE & EDA: A New (and Amplified) Future?
DescriptionWe are witnessing a remarkable global resurgence of interest in semiconductors and related technologies. These have emerged as key components of both national security and economic stability. In the US, the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 provides over $250B to boost US research and manufacturing in this arena. And the US is not alone here. The European Commission has proposed a European Chips Act to invest in these same technologies. Prominent semiconductor foundries and verticals are building new fabs in new geographies and promising easier access to leading-edge technologies for academics and other researchers. So – how does this affect the DAC community? We are an extremely broad community: global academics, aspiring entrepreneurs, rising startups, established commercial players. What new resources and technologies might be available to researchers? To startups? To commercial enterprises already established as part of the semiconductor supply chain? How are government and corporate sponsors collaborating? And, given the somewhat complex geopolitics underlying some of these investments, what does this mean for international collaborations? How is this pivot viewed in different parts of the globe? Our panelists include leadership from the organizations on the frontlines of deciding how the technical community will respond in this brave new world. Leaders from NIST, NSF, DARPA, SRC, IMEC, TSMC and the venture community, will share their perspectives and plans, for this eventful new era.
