CHIPS for America is a bipartisan program with the mission of strengthening America’s economic and national security by revitalizing America’s domestic semiconductor manufacturing and research and development ecosystem. U.S. leadership in chip design has made US companies dominant players in technologies ranging from smartphones to cloud computing to artificial intelligence. Underlying that success has been a strong and diverse electronic design automation (EDA) sector. This talk looks at the history of EDA and how it has enabled the semiconductor revolution, where it currently faces challenges, and how CHIPS for America and its CHIPS National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program is helping to address those challenges going forward.
