The semiconductor industry is making generational investments in U.S. capacity across the chip value chain. A new SIA report, titled “Understanding Dependencies in the U.S. Semiconductor Supply Chain,” details how the upstream supply chains supporting America’s semiconductor ecosystem are increasingly vulnerable to disruptions. To maintain and build on U.S. semiconductor leadership, government and industry must […]

Maintaining and growing U.S. semiconductor leadership is both a national security and economic security imperative. To that end, we encourage the Administration and Congress to advance policies that ensure American semiconductors are adopted worldwide and decrease international dependence on competing technologies developed by adversaries. Targeted export controls can be an important tool for safeguarding America’s […]

The U.S. semiconductor industry is experiencing a period of historic growth. New investments in manufacturing, R&D, and design are helping to strengthen America’s leadership in semiconductor technology. But to fully realize this opportunity, the industry must also address the critical challenge of building the workforce needed to support this expansion. During a recent Semiconductor Industry […]
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) released its annual State of the U.S. Semiconductor Industry report today. This report provides a snapshot of where the industry stands in 2025: the progress underway, the challenges and opportunities ahead, and the stakes of getting it right. In 2024, global semiconductor industry sales hit $630.5 billion, beating initial forecasts and topping […]
SIA’s 2025 Factbook, released this week, serves as the essential guide for semiconductor industry market data. The data included in the 2025 SIA Factbook helps demonstrate the strength and promise of the U.S. semiconductor industry and offers key context for our place in the global market. Need to know the size of the global semiconductor […]

The Semiconductor PFAS Consortium, a group of companies organized under the auspices of the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) to address technical matters associated with the industry’s use of PFAS,[1] today published the results of a survey of PFAS discharges from semiconductor fabs to wastewater. The publication of these data are intended to advance transparency and […]
On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued the much-anticipated final regulations for the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit (AMIC), the 25% investment tax credit enacted by the CHIPS and Science Act (CHIPS Act). The credit, codified in Section 48D of the tax code, is a core component of the […]
In the roughly two-and-a-half years since Russia invaded Ukraine, the United States and other likeminded governments have imposed far-reaching export controls and sanctions intended to choke off Russia’s access to the technologies needed to fuel its aggression. The U.S. semiconductor industry is a big part of that effort and has been working in close partnership […]
Today marks a significant milestone in the CHIPS for America initiative: the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) is officially open for membership. This landmark public-private partnership is set to strengthen U.S. semiconductor technology leadership, reduce time from lab-to-fab, and expand the semiconductor workforce. With membership now available, semiconductor companies, universities, nonprofits and research institutions, national […]
