"National Chip Lab in Albany: Boosting America's Semiconductor Technology"
The US Commerce Department has released details of the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC), a federal computer chip manufacturing research and development centre that could be built at Albany Nanotech complex in New York. The NSTC will be a major destination for semiconductor research and will consist of a headquarters and a network of affiliated technical centres across the country. The CHIPS Act, which funded the NSTC, was designed to reclaim the US's computer chip manufacturing supply chain from Asia. The NSTC will also focus on recruiting, training, and retraining the semiconductor workforce.
