This coalition seems to want both research and physical infrastructure across many process nodes. Fabs are expensive, so I hope Assembly-Test-Mark-Pack gets a look too. Not sure what happens to research IP sourced from domestic investment, or how this doesn’t overlap existing defense supply chain efforts.

From their letter: “Manufacturing incentives funded by Congress should focus on filling key gaps in our domestic semiconductor ecosystem and cover the full range of semiconductor technologies and process nodes – from legacy to leading-edge – relied on by industry, the military, and critical infrastructure.”

So... give us your semiconductor ecosystem gap analysis, SIAC :)
