Engineering technology faculty lead on Purdue's semiconductor, CHIPS Act goals
Purdue Polytechnic faculty are collaborating to explore American reforms to the global semiconductor supply chain. It's to this end that Tho Le and James Tanoos, in industrial engineering technology and supply chain/sales engineering technology respectively, are adding curriculum and leading research with students in Purdue Polytechnic, the College of Engineering and the John Martinson Honors College.
The overarching goal for Le, Tanoos and their students is to prepare for the U.S.’ re-shoring efforts in semiconductor production. Semiconductors, or computer chips, are a necessary component in almost all modern electronics. This spurred the U.S. Congress to pass the CHIPS Act, signed by President Joe Biden on August 9, 2022, which funds holistic development of the semiconductor industry to the tune of $280 billion.
Anticipating the act’s passage, Purdue University has just partnered with South Korea-based semiconductor company SK Hynix to build a nearly $4 billion facility in the university’s Research Park.
