Over the past decade, the United States has sought to rebuild a larger share of leading-edge semiconductor production capacity to reduce geographic concentration risk and improve supply chain resilience. However, fabrication facilities (fabs) cannot operate at scale without a steady pipeline of workers with specialized skills, experience, and readiness to work in high-reliability cleanroom environments. This report focuses on the workforce required to expand and sustain U.S.-based semiconductor fabrication.

The semiconductor industry and the U.S. government are engaged in ambitious plans to expand domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity. Previous CSET research has found that the CHIPS for America Act incentives, if carefully targeted and augmented… Read More CHIPS for America Act funding will result in the construction of new semiconductor fabrication facilities (“fabs”) in the United States, employing tens of thousands of workers. This policy brief assesses the occupations and backgrounds that… Read More Since 1990, the U.S. share of global semiconductor manufacturing capacity has…
