Ngomhla wesi-9 ku-Agasti, uMongameli wase-US uBiden watyikitya "uMthetho weChip and Science", nto leyo ethetha ukuba emva kweminyaka ephantse ibe mithathu yokhuphiswano lwezilangazelelo, lo mthetho, obaluleke kakhulu kuphuhliso lweshishini lokuvelisa iitships zasekhaya eMelika, uye waba ngumthetho ngokusesikweni.

Inani lamajoni anamava kushishino lwe-semiconductor akholelwa ukuba olu tshintsho lwe-United States luya kukhawulezisa ukwenziwa kweshishini le-semiconductor laseTshayina, kwaye iTshayina inokusebenzisa iinkqubo ezivuthiweyo ukujongana nalo.

"UMthetho weChip neSayensi" wahlulwe ngamacandelo amathathu: Icandelo A yi "Chip Act ka-2022"; Icandelo B yi "R&D, Competition and Innovation Act"; Icandelo C yi "Secure Funding Act yeNkundla ePhakamileyo ka-2022".

Lo mthetho ugxile kwimveliso ye-semiconductor, eza kubonelela nge-$54.2 yeebhiliyoni kwinkxaso-mali eyongezelelweyo kwimizi-mveliso ye-semiconductor kunye nerediyo, apho i-$52.7 yeebhiliyoni ibekelwe imboni ye-semiconductor yaseMelika. Lo mthetho ubandakanya nekhredithi yerhafu yotyalo-mali ye-25% kwimveliso ye-semiconductor kunye nezixhobo zokwenza i-semiconductor. Urhulumente wase-US uza kwabela i-$200 yeebhiliyoni kwiminyaka elishumi ezayo ukukhuthaza uphando lwesayensi kwi-artificial intelligence, iirobhothi, i-quantum computing, nokunye.

Kwiinkampani eziphambili ze-semiconductor kulo mthetho, ukutyikitywa kwalo mthetho akumangalisi. I-CEO ye-Intel uPat Gelsinger uthe umthetho we-chip usenokuba ngowona mgaqo-nkqubo ubalulekileyo wezoshishino owaziswa yi-United States ukususela kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi yesiBini.
