Biden decapitates Chinese semiconductor technology

TI is more famous for developing the world's first silicon transistor in 1954 by Jack Kilby (Whom I met personally during an annual company awards event), and introducing the first single-chip micro-controller in 1970, which combined all the elements of computing onto one piece of silicon. And then in 1987 invented the DLP! I was a Data Communications engineer there for many years and worked with their Dallas Communications group and their World Wide Command Center to support the 2500 circuits to the other TI manufacturing sites around the world.

Yes, most of the chips are made in the PAC-Rim. If Those Pac-Rim circuits went down, TI would lose millions of dollars a minute in lost revenue as all these lab workers did their jobs on the MAIN FRAMEs and LANs within the World Wide Command Center in Lewisville Texas and all of the communications lines were routed through the Dallas Communications center on the 3rd floor of the South Building at their main Campus in Richardson Texas.

I was laid off in a World Wide layoff there in 2002, along with 2500 others who were 50 years of age or older, throughout the company around the world.

Great job while it lasted!

The transistor was invented in 1947 at Bell Labs, part of AT&T. Texas Instruments did not invent the transistor.

1874: The semiconductor point-contact rectifier effect is discovered

Braun demonstrated the semiconductor device to an audience in Leipzig on November 14, 1876, but it did not find use until the advent of radio in the 1900s—as a signal detector in a "stone radio". Such detectors are often referred to as "cat whisker" detectors, due to the thin wires that extend toward the crystal surface to make electrical contact.

Strangely Intel beg to differ but then what do they know?

Intel has 15 wafer fabs in production worldwide at 10 locations. Approximately half of our workforce handles production or production services.

Our fab production sites in the United States include:

Chandler, Arizona
Rio Rancho, New Mexico
Hillsboro, Oregon

Fab production sites outside the United States include:

Leixlip, Ireland
Jerusalem, Israel
Kiryal Gat, Israel
Dalian, China

We have one testing facility and one assembly development facility in the United States. The remainder assembly and test sites are outside the United States:

Shanghai, China
Chengdu, China
San Jose, Costa Rica
Kulim, Malaysia
Penang, Malaysia
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Many diodes today are still built the same way, particularly signal diodes.

Repetition (chanting). Hillsboro is only a prototyping facility. So is Rio Rancho, and Chandler.
 
Obviously the Chinese have stolen all of the plans. How many Western experts do they need to recruit to do this all themselves?

This is a pretty scary question given what I know.

With New Crackdown, Biden Wages Global Campaign on Chinese Technology

U.S. officials pushed to choke off China’s access to critical semiconductor technology after internal debates and tough negotiations with allies.

WASHINGTON — In conversations with American executives this spring, top officials in the Biden administration revealed an aggressive plan to counter the Chinese military’s rapid technological advances.

China was using supercomputing and artificial intelligence to develop stealth and hypersonic weapons systems, and to try to crack the U.S. government’s most encrypted messaging, according to intelligence reports. For months, administration officials debated what they could do to hobble the country’s progress.

They saw a path: The Biden administration would use U.S. influence over global technology and supply chains to try to choke off China’s access to advanced chips and chip production tools needed to power those abilities. The goal was to keep Chinese entities that contributed to potential threats far behind their competitors in the United States and in allied nations.

The effort, no less than what the Americans carried out against Soviet industries during the Cold War, gained momentum this year as the United States tested powerful economic tools against Russia as punishment for its invasion of Ukraine, and as China broke barriers in technological development. The Russian offensive and Beijing’s military actions also made the possibility of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan seem more real to U.S. officials.

This account of how President Biden and his aides decided to wage a new global campaign against China, which contains previously unreported details, is based on interviews with two dozen current and former officials and industry executives. Most spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss deliberations.

Actually, it would be great if President Biden, in particular, would decapitate the current imminent threat against the U.S., society, democracy and humanity on Earth. This as in the treasonous, seditious and un-American repuke atrocity that is waging war on society while whoring and living it up on the taxpayer money. This includes, and to which makes this of a additional premeditated and heinous nature of repuke malice against the State.

Your call for civil war is noted.

So? That first IC was not practical or usable. It wasn't even a circuit of any kind. It was just some random components.
Most TI chips are now manufactured in Malaysia.
