For decades, computer chip efficiency has doubled every two years, but that progress is slowing. To complicate the problem further, global demand for semiconductors threatens to outpace the supply. The U.S. has the opportunity to meet the growing need for chips \u2014 both by increasing domestic manufacturing and building up the workforce, which is at its \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/cea\/written-materials\/2024\/03\/20\/u-s-semiconductor-jobs-are-making-a-comeback\/\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Elowest\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E in decades. To bolster semiconductor research and manufacturing, in 2022, Congress passed the $52.7 billion bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act that President Joe Biden signed into law. New paradigms and pioneers are needed to make these critical advances.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech is playing \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/research.gatech.edu\/georgia-tech-addressing-nations-call-semiconductors\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Ea significant role\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E in creating the next generation of chips, as the Institute is especially well positioned to innovate in the semiconductor field. All areas of the semiconductor stack \u2014 the components that build a chip, from hardware to artificial intelligence \u2014 are studied at Tech, and collaboration among faculty is a hallmark of its research enterprise. Such cooperation is necessary to build better chips, since they need to be reinvented in every layer of the stack.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/research.gatech.edu\/feature\/chips-research\u0022\u003ERead the full story on GT Research News.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"Smartphones.
