Both before and after the August 2022 passage of the CHIPs Act providing federal support, the U.S. has seen a spree of announcements by tech companies promising to build up domestic chip production. The acute chip shortage suffered during the Covid-19 pandemic and the chronic shortages caused by ensuing supply chain issues has given rise to a newly burgeoning landscape in semiconductor, computer electronics, and related supply factory announcements.
This slideshow aims to provide a birds-eye view of all the newest announcements with implications for the future of computer electronics manufacturing in the United States, in addition to a closer look at the most recent semiconductor news.
