…And we’re not talking about a guy who drives a semi. Semiconductors are designed for fast, current-limiting protection of sensitive semiconductor devices like diodes, thyristors, and transistors, commonly found in power equipment and electronics.
 
If you keep up with the current news, you’ve probably heard of the resurgence of semiconductors. The Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act (CHIPS and Science Act) aims to revitalize U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and research.
 
In fact, the U.S. is projected to triple semiconductor manufacturing capacity by 2032. Emerging technologies like AI have also bolstered the industry. In turn, it is hoped this law will create American jobs, support American innovation, and protect our national security.
