Much of the attention around semiconductor resilience and protection has centered on leading-edge chips, with domestic attention focusing on the United States' lack of fabrication capacity in this tier of chips. However, the semiconductor shortage of late 2020 was largely based on a lack of legacy chips, a key component in automobiles, smartphones, medical devices, and more. Join our panelists to discuss the role of legacy chips in global modern manufacturing, American capacity to support demand, and the geopolitical impact of legacy production.
