The Rise and Fall of the American Chip Industry
By admin | July 31, 2009
The semiconductor chip is at the core of what we think us as technology. Computers, cell phones, iPods, medical equipment, avionics, etc. have only been possible because of the chip. The American chip industry has been damaged by the recent economic slowdown like most industries, but more importantly, the chip business in the United States has been in a slow fall for 30 years. The American chip industry, outside of Intel, is an endangered species. AT&T, Hewlett-Packard, the reverse cell phone trace and others are already gone from the field. Others, like Texas Instruments, have set a path for the eventual elimination of manufacturing. These companies have gone “fabless”, meaning they will continue designing applications, but leave the process technology and manufacturing to someone else.
