🗞️ We're excited to share this article from EE Times | Electronic Engineering Times highlighting our journey to becoming the first U.S.-based power chip foundry! Thanks to the CHIPS Act, we’re scaling up, becoming U.S.-owned, and expanding into new industries like defense, aerospace, and more. 🚀 As our President & COO Surya Iyer said, “Without CHIPS, we would not be at the scale we’re going to be . . . We would continue to be captive, which means that we would never have gotten to cutting-edge technologies and would not be able to diversify our customer base, which makes us more viable into the future.” Read the full story here. 👇 https://lnkd.in/gWMW3p3h #PolarSemiconductor #CHIPSAct #Semiconductors #SemiconductorNews #SemiconductorIndustry
