10 years before what Taiwan does can be replaced.

This is a good and needed thing to help long term autonomy... But it does make me worry for Taiwan.

People not in the industry probably don’t know this, and that’s very understandable. But NY state has a lot going on for semiconductor at the moment. IBM has a research hub in semiconductors in upstate NY for a long time and it’s leading the new US-Japan collaboration. Wolfspeed is building a very big SiC fab. GF is also expanding.
lot of actions happening in upstate New York. It’s a good thing. Chip manufacturing is one of the few manufacturing that’s not so sensitive to labor cost, making it a good fit for developed countries. Although the industry has it bust and boom cycles, in the long run the demand is always going up.

Following the dicing packaging needs to be done as well. Purely diced dies are not usable as they cannot be integrated into usual electronics without a first level package for most use cases.

Anyone following the foxconn story knows these are very different situations.

Got mine for like $300. Happy with the upgrade from my 1060.

The US for some reason wants to have significant chipmaking outside of Taiwan.

I've done alot of work inside of intel in oregon and you wouldn't belive the amount of people it takes to keep a semiconductor facility running, just in trade workers it employer thousands to keep the plant running at quality it needs to be running and as far as the fab goes all the tools and automation typically take someone to monitor the process and deal with any problems, and most every semiconductor being built in the US is built by union labor

It’s also about 90 min away from Binghamton University, Cornell, and like 20 min from Syracuse University. While they aren’t tech specific like RIT, they’re def going to benefit from this too.
