North Korean hackers have broken into South Korean chip equipment makers, according to South Korea's spy agency.
BBC News
European Union leaders recently opened several initiatives to promote the development of RISC-V-based chips-in response to anxiety over member countries' reliance on foreign companies for semiconductors. The recent global chip shortage, which has disrupted supply chains and highlighted the importance of chip sovereignty, exacerbated that concern.
EE Times
US chipmakers Intel and Micron are likely to win the largest share of the US$52 billion in CHIPS Act awards this year, analysts told EE Times. With the US 2024 presidential election approaching, the awards will help President Joe Biden show that he's creating jobs and returning semiconductor manufacturing to the nation following a long history of offshoring, the analysts said.
