Making the next generation of computer chips demands the care, on an industrial scale, of making a gourmet meal. The finest ingredients, techniques, tools and, of course, the sharpest minds, must whip together something transformative. In kitchens missing just one, the meal falls short.
Lowering the barriers to participation and funding—inviting the sharpest minds using the finest ingredients and the best equipment — is critical to the future of America’s CHIPS-inspired semiconductor future. The nearly $600 billion global semiconductor chip industry makes more than a trillion chips every year, found in everything from cars to coffeemakers. A “more-is-merrier” approach would create a vibrant and fast-moving network of innovation to produce the breakthroughs needed to succeed.
First, we’ll need more kitchens. We must build shared experimental facilities where researchers from industry and academia work together. This would cultivate research communities of practice that unite top engineers in a common purpose and open doors to innovators nationwide. These technology centers can range from enhanced university fabs run by experienced engineers to industry-scale facilities that showcase product-worthiness of new ideas on a large scale.
Ultimately, such a network would lower the cost for research and development for all players, reducing risk and bringing innovative ideas to market faster. A shared prototyping environment could propel production of all kinds of chips—logic, memory, storage and specialty technologies—the way a well-equipped kitchen can turn out diverse cuisines in a single night.
