NIST thinks US public should weigh in on CHIPS Act programs
Momentum is building behind the US CHIPS Act, which aims to revitalize semiconductor manufacturing in America. Now, the National Institute of Standards and Technology is set to ask for public input on two of the programs authorized under the legislation.in August as part of the overarching CHIPS and Science Act, approving $52 billion in federal funding for programs designed to provide a boost for the American semiconductor industry and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
There are two main components of this initiative: providing financial incentives to encourage investment in domestic semiconductor production; and building collaborative networks for research in an effort to maintain a technological edge. NIST is issuing a Request for Information to cover both components: the CHIPS Incentives Program RFI and Manufacturing USA Institutes RFI. All submissions received in response to the pair of RFIs will be posted on the NIST website.concerns the proposed development of up to three new institutes to advance semiconductor manufacturing in the US through research, education and workforce development.
Input is being sought on research focus areas, such as artificial intelligence for chip design, testing and new materials, as well as the structure and governance of the institutes. The RFI will also seek opinion on how research and development activities may be integrated into educational programs for the workforce.
It is also seeking help in identifying the greatest supply chain bottlenecks for American semiconductor factories, and the types of investments that would be most effective in promoting inclusive economic growth for workers and communities.
