The Semiconductor Chip Shortage:

There’s no quick fix to the worldwide semiconductor chip shortage. The U.S. needs a deliberate long-term vision to solve the silicon chip shortage, and we have it.

The federal government recognizes the importance of funding semiconductor innovation and competition. The 2021 National Defense Authorization Act calls for creation of a National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC).

MITRE Engenuity and The Semiconductor Alliance have a vision for establishing an NSTC that strengthens U.S. ability to translate American innovation into products manufactured on American soil by mitigating the semiconductor chip shortage.

In this detailed white paper, MITRE Engenuity and The Semiconductor Alliance provide:

• A value proposition for the NSTC.
• Principles for creating and governing the NSTC.
• A roadmap for measuring success.
• A plan for sustained impact.

Download the white paper to see our blueprint for a collaborative, whole-of-nation solution, ensuring U.S. leadership in semiconductor technology in ending the semiconductor chip shortage.
