It is reported that Intel plans to build a $ 20 billion in Ohio in the United States and build a manufacturing facility, but the company is still closing his spells.The company, the largest semiconductor manufacturer in the United States, chose the land in Ricking County, located east of Columbus, the capital of Ohio.According to Columbus Dispatch reports, 3,000 workers are expected to be directly hired in planned manufacturing facilities, which is expected to promote the creation of ecosystem consisting of materials and equipment suppliers.In the case of Intel's Corporate Division of Corporate Communication, WiLLIAM MOSS replied in an inquiry from EE TIMES in the United States about the report, "I will refrain from commenting on this."
This report suggests a return to the United States for semiconductor manufacturing. Only 12 % of the United States of semiconductor manufacturing, TSMC and Samsung Electronics (hereinafter referred to as Samsung) promise new investment in the United States. In 2021, Intel has set up two new semiconductor projects in Chandler, Arizona, to provide further capabilities to the foundry business. According to Intel, the US $ 20 billion project is the largest private investment in Arizona's history. At the end of 2021, Samsung chose Texas land as the latest project related to manufacturing facilities. The company plans to invest 17 billion dollars on the project. The facility is expected to increase the ability of Samsung's existing manufacturing facilities in Austin. TSMC plans to invest 44 billion dollars in 2022 to maintain a manufacturing advantage of the Foundry business, such as Samsung and Intel. TSMC, based in Taiwan, is currently building a 5Nm manufacturing facility in Phoenix, Arizona. This process node is already in the production stage in Taiwan. The company is expected to start producing 3nm chips for the first time in the end of 2022. The production of new 5NM manufacturing facilities in Arizona, announced in 2020, will begin in 2024. The proposed US Federal Government's encouragement measures have been dealt with the turmoil of the technical supply chain and are designed to attract new economies in the United States. The goal of the 52 billion dollar -scale “CHIPS FOR AMERICA ACT” is to revive domestic industries over the next 10 years. The bill has already been passed in the Senate, but the House of Representatives is still in deliberations. The bill was formulated in the United States and China over the development of new market dominance in the growing market, such as 5G (5th generation mobile communication) and high -performance computing (HPC). The United States has stopped supply high -performance chips to Huawei in China. China, on the other hand, regulates exports of automotive batteries and rare earth materials. Rare earths are widely used in electronic products, but China supplies about 90 % of the world's rare earths. It is also China that manufactures most of the world's automotive batteries. During the Technical War, China and the United States have begun to build electronic products, especially for dual use technology, especially dual use technology.
