Create a Resilient and Robust Microelectronics Pipeline

Abstract

Microelectronics are critical technologies that drive the modern economy and enable the defense systems that allow warfighters to accomplish their missions. Other nations recognize the need to control the microelectronics supply chain and indigenous state-of-the-art (SOTA) manufacturing. Aggressive investments and licit and illicit actions by peer nations threaten U.S. leadership. China alone purports investment of $150 billion and a national strategy to achieve dominance in all major areas of microelectronics by 2030. Russia and China have publicly stated that advanced microelectronics, AI, and machine learning (ML) are the keys to economic and military dominance. This project will promote microelectronics innovation and create resilient and robust Microelectronics pipeline including supplier chain, next generation technology and workforce. It will slow and in the long-term reverse offshoring trends by fostering commercial and Government alliances to preserve the U.S. ecosystem, lower barriers to innovation and adoption, strengthen workforce expertise, lead the next generation of advanced technology, and maintain the United States as the global source for high-end, secure, and reliable microelectronics components.
