Industry execs say UK gov must do more for semiconductors

A group of British chip company execs has called on the government to do more to support industry, a month after officials published the nation's Semiconductor Strategy laying out policy initiatives for this vital technology sector.," [PDF] the Semiconductor Leadership Group indicated it was broadly in support of the strategy, but said government needs to work more closely with them on a set of policies to build a long term sustainable and successful ecosystem for the country.

It also points to emerging markets such as power electronics, photonics, AI, quantum, telecoms and space, where the industry dynamics are different from the Moore’s law driven ever-denser computer chip market for CPUs and GPUs, and claims the UK has a “strategic opportunity” in areas such as multi-chip packaging and compound semiconductor materials. Manufacturing in future is expected to be less capex intensive with a shift away from sub-10nm silicon geometry, it claims.

The UK semiconductor industry has said for years that some form of support is needed in order to get things off the ground and stimulate growth, but the report says it is important that this does not necessarily mean just firing out subsidies in all directions, and that targeted support, measured to ensure return on investment, would be welcome.
