Nge-9 ka-Agasti, uMongameli wase-US u-Biden watyikitya "uMthetho weChip kunye neNzululwazi", oku kuthetha ukuba emva kweminyaka ephantse ibe mithathu yokhuphiswano lomdla, lo mthetho uyilwayo, obaluleke kakhulu kuphuhliso lweshishini lokwenziwa kweetshiphu zasekhaya eUnited States, iye yaba ngumthetho ngokusemthethweni.

Iqela lamagqala eshishini le-semiconductor likholelwa ukuba lo mjikelo wokusebenza yi-United States uya kuthi nawo ukhawulezise ukwenziwa kweshishini lasekhaya laseTshayina, kwaye i-China inokuqhubela phambili nokusasaza iinkqubo ezivuthiweyo ukujongana nayo.

I-"Chip and Science Act" yahlulwe yangamacandelo amathathu: Icandelo A yi "Chip Act of 2022";Icandelo B yi-"R&D, Competition and Innovation Act";Icandelo C "nguMthetho weNkxaso-mali oKhuselekileyo weNkundla ePhakamileyo ka-2022".

Lo mthetho uyilwayo ugxile kwimveliso ye-semiconductor, eya kubonelela nge-54.2 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwinkxaso-mali eyongezelelweyo ye-semiconductor kunye namashishini onomathotholo, apho i-52.7 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ibekelwe ishishini le-semiconductor yase-US.Lo mthetho uyilwayo ukwabandakanya i-25% yetyala lerhafu yotyalo-mali kwimveliso ye-semiconductor kunye nezixhobo zokwenza i-semiconductor.Urhulumente wase-US uzakwabela i-200 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kule minyaka ilishumi izayo ukukhuthaza uphando lwezenzululwazi kubukrelekrele bokwenziwa, iirobhothi, i-quantum computing, nokunye.

Kwiinkampani eziphambili ze-semiconductor kuyo, ukusayinwa kwebhili ayimangalisi.I-Intel CEO uPat Gelsinger uphawule ukuba ibhilikhwe ye-chip inokuba ngowona mgaqo-nkqubo weshishini obalulekileyo owaziswa yi-United States ukusukela kwiMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi.
