The #US and #Taiwan have reached a #tradeagreement where Taiwanese companies will invest $250 billion in U.S. #chipmaking. In return, the U.S. will limit #tariffs on Taiwan. This agreement aims to incentivise Taiwanese companies like #TSMC to expand their U.S. operations and reduce reliance on Taiwanese production. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/15/us-taiwan-chips-deal-china.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

The Great #American #Microchip Mobilization
Under Donald Trump and Joe Biden alike, the #US has been determined to “reshore” #chipmaking. Now money and colossal infrastructure are flowing to a vast Intel site in Ohio—just as the company may be falling apart.

The recent #TechnologyQuarterly in #TheEconomist on the effect of the demands of #AI on #ChipMaking was particularly good, even by its own standards (https://www.economist.com/technology-quarterly/2024/09/16/ai-has-returned-chipmaking-to-the-heart-of-computer-technology). 👌🏽
They are able to somehow explain complex topics without trivializing things.
#Microchips are getting so small that the wavelength of photons is impacting the #lithography. To fix this #Intel is using ultraviolet light which has a very small wavelength. But here's the crazy part; to get that UV light; they have to drop a tiny glob of molten tin into a chamber and then hit it with powerful lasers which makes it explode in a ball of plasma which generates the UV light
I know Intel is going through a rough spot, but I can't help but simp for this
> In April, the #Biden administration announced #TSMC would receive $6.6 billion in grants through the federal #ChipsAndScienceAct, as well as up to $5 billion in loans to support its first major #US #chipmaking hub. TSMC’s two chipmaking factories in Arizona are expected to begin production in 2025 and 2028
