The CHIPS Act is reshaping the global semiconductor landscape by fundamentally altering investment flows and strategic priorities. Technologically, it accelerates advancement in advanced nodes and key materials, particularly in EUV and III-V semiconductors, creating a cascade of innovation across the value chain.
