Through the CHIPS and Science Act, the U.S. government is incentivizing the reshoring of semiconductor manufacturing and the advancement of domestic research in chip technology. UF’s College of Engineering has established the Florida Semiconductor Institute, a hub to provide intellectual and technological leadership for semiconductors in Florida.
Dozens of UF faculty participate in FSI, along with partners from other Florida universities, so it is well-positioned to boost Florida’s research and development in this sector. FSI will also launch an education program to serve universities, state and career colleges, and private industry. “Our vision is to double the state’s semiconductor workforce within a few years,” said Mark Tehranipoor, chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
