The global semiconductor shortage has grabbed headlines and caused major bottlenecks in production that have driven up prices for goods, from SUVs to laptops. But years before the pandemic-induced shortage, the United States was already facing a growing chip crisis. Featured guest Jesús del Alamo, MIT Professor and a leading researcher in microelectronics and lead author of a new report, “Reasserting U.S. Leadership in Microelectronics” and moderator Beth Sanner, Professor of Practice at UMD’s Applied Research Lab for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) and former Deputy Director of National Intelligence, discussed current trends and challenges in the U.S. semiconductor industry and the path forward for the U.S. to reclaim its superpower status in microelectronics as a matter of national security.
