Greater Phoenix's semiconductor momentum extends beyond major company investments — after more than 50 years in San Francisco, SEMICON West is moving to City of Phoenix next year.

For the first time in 50 years, Semicon West, a leading microelectronics conference, is relocating to Phoenix, Arizona, next year. This moves underscores Phoenix's emergence as a semiconductor manufacturing hub. Arizona's semiconductor industry has deep roots, beginning with Motorola’s research lab in Phoenix in 1949. The momentum continued with ASM's arrival in 1976 and Intel's semiconductor factory opening in Chandler in 1980. The region's manufacturing ecosystem strengthened with these foundational players and their suppliers. The area saw significant growth recently, with 14 major manufacturing announcements in the past four years and topping the U.S. for manufacturing construction. In May 2020, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) committed $65 billion to build three fabs in Arizona, marking the state's largest foreign direct investment. Arizona's strong talent pipeline, bolstered by partnerships with institutions like Arizona State University and Maricopa Community Colleges, has been a major draw for semiconductor giants. These educational collaborations support workforce development and bridge the gap between technological innovation and practical application. The state’s strategic incentives, robust talent pool, and supportive educational initiatives have collectively positioned Arizona as a prime location for semiconductor manufacturing and innovation

Back in the 1990s when I was with Praxair, Inc - a Linde Company is when the State of Texas was the darling for the #electronics sector including the City of Austin and the City of San Antonio TSMC became a global #chip leader and that seen #wafer production moved to Asia. Re-shoring wafer production is critical protecting supply chain. State of Arizona along with City of Phoenix, City of Mesa, Maricopa Community Colleges, Arizona State University, and others partner together to attract semiconductor investment.

Semiconductor Excellence in Texas: The Texas Semiconductor Innovation Consortium aims to enhance our state's leadership in chip manufacturing. This initiative is a win for our economy and the tech sector in the Central Texas region. Explore how this development is set to enhance our local and state economic landscape:

Micron Technology's ambitious plan to build a $100 billion chip-making plant in Clay has hit a snag. The U.S. Commerce Department's slow progress on the project has slowed down the wheels of progress. Announced in October 2022, nearly two years after Congress agreed to give $39 billion to semiconductor companies to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., Micron is still waiting to hear how much it will receive to move forward. Micron has said that without billions from the federal CHIPS and Science Act, it can't go forward. This investment in domestic chip manufacturing is crucial to the country's economic and technological future. #micron #chips #semiconductors #semiconductor #semiconductorindustry #foundries #technology #chipsact #scienceact #domesticmanufacturing #innovation #technology #technologynews

As billions of CHIPS Act and private investment dollars are dispersed, semiconductor manufacturers and the ecosystem of suppliers that support them are flocking to Arizona. This article from Manufacturing Drive sheds some light on the why. #CHIPSAct #semiconductorjobs

The CHIPS Act represents a monumental shift in the landscape of American manufacturing, particularly in the semiconductor sector. By significantly boosting federal investments and incentives for domestic chip production, the Act has set the United States on an ambitious course to triple its domestic chip manufacturing capacity by 2032. This initiative is not just an expansion—it's an industrial revolution in its own right, marking the largest increase in chip manufacturing capacity in the world. This strategic move can be seen as adding "fuel to the fire" in what is being heralded as the "American Manufacturing Super Cycle." This resurgence is a pivotal response to recent global disruptions in supply chains and geopolitical tensions that have exposed vulnerabilities in relying heavily on foreign semiconductor production. By bolstering domestic production, the CHIPS Act is poised to reinvigorate the American manufacturing sector, enhancing its competitiveness on a global scale. The act's emphasis on revamping and expanding chip manufacturing has multiple ramifications: 1. Economic Growth and Job Creation - The expansion of manufacturing facilities is expected to create thousands of high-paying jobs, not only directly in semiconductor manufacturing but also across the entire technology supply chain. 2. Innovation and Development - Increased capacity and local production are anticipated to drive innovation within the tech sector, leading to advancements in AI, computing, and other tech-driven fields. 3. National Security- Strengthening domestic production capabilities is crucial for national security, ensuring that the U.S. remains self-sufficient in producing critical technologies. This renaissance, dubbed "The American Manufacturing Super Cycle," suggests a robust period of growth and development, positioning the United States to reclaim leadership in advanced manufacturing and technology. The CHIPS Act, therefore, is not just a legislative measure but a catalyst for a broader revival of American manufacturing prowess, signaling a new era of increased productivity, innovation, and economic security. #ignitingamericanmanufacturing #americanmanugacturingsupercycle #chipwar #chipsact #semiconductor
