The Politics of the Chips Act, or how to think about the manufacturing of advanced integrated circuits
Jeffrey Hart
A large proportion of advanced chip manufacturing is concentrated in three firms: TSMC (Taiwan), Samsung (Korea), and Intel (US). Growing hostility between the US and China makes dependence on TSMC's foundry more risky. The Chips Act subsidizes US and Taiwanese companies to locate new state-of-the-art production facilities in the United States. What are the prospects for success in this area?
