US chip companies ask Biden for a handout
The SIA has sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking for government support for the semiconductor industry.
Here is the letter:
The White House
Dear Mr. President:
As your administration formulates an economic recovery and infrastructure strategy, the leaders of the U.S. semiconductor industry call on you to include robust funding for semiconductor manufacturing and research.
Semiconductors are critical to the U.S. economy, American technology leadership, and our national security. They enable the technologies needed to realize your Build Back Better goals, including smarter and safer transportation, greater broadband access, cleaner energy, and a more efficient energy grid, while also providing high-paying jobs for Americans and strengthening our advanced manufacturing base. During the pandemic, semiconductor-enabled technologies have aided researchers in developing life-saving vaccines and helped Americans work and learn remotely.

The Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) has approved the acquisition by Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) of shares in Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (Maxim), resulting in a merger of the two US-based semiconductor makers.
In its Commission Decision, the PCC merger review found that the transaction does not result in substantial lessening of competition in the semiconductor market due to the global nature of the transaction, thus having no hold among numerous global players competing in the industry.
The share acquisition will result in a merger through Magneto Corp. (Magneto), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ADI and Maxim, with Maxim surviving the merger and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ADI.
