The Biden administration has pledged to provide up to $6.6 billion so that a Taiwanese semiconductor giant can expand the facilities it is already building in Arizona and better ensure that the most-advanced microchips are produced domestically for the first time.
Fair enough, my main point was that any chip fabrication capability added to North America isn’t moving it “back” here like it would be for many other industries.
Ohh I misunderstood your other post.
I agree with your main point. I don’t think international manufacturers would find value in spinning up new fabs here just to make chips for the DoD. But it does make me curious how big of a chunk defense is vs total. I would guess it’s pretty small. Chips are in everything, it’s not like these aerospace guys where DoD is their cash cow.
