The CHIPS Act aims to boost U.S. manufacturing but overlooks critical PCB support, jeopardizing semiconductor industry goals.
Hudson, MA &mdash; Metro Boston-based Alternate Finishing, Inc. (AFI), a leader in precision plating services, warns that the CHIPS Act's significant $52.7 billion investment falls short in supporting domestic printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing.
Despite aiming to bolster U.S. electronics production, the Act still leaves the country dependent on importing 78% of its PCB substrates. AFI's renowned services, like ENIG plating, are critical to many mission-critical systems across industries throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The critique of the CHIPS Act is published in the article The CHIPS Act&rsquo;s Missing Link: Why U.S. Electronics Manufacturing Still Lacks Critical Support, available online at <a href="https://www.alternatefinishing.com/the-chips-acts-missing-link-why-u-s-electronics-manufacturing-still-lacks-critical-support/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.alternatefinishing.com/the-chips-acts-missing-link-why-u-s-electronics-manufacturing-still-lacks-critical-support/</a>.
