Intel's top executive is making the pitch for federal support for the semiconductor industry, saying it would help Intel grow in Greater Columbus.
for the nation's semiconductor industry, Intel's top executive told a Senate committee this week.
"The manufacturing operations at the Ohio site will produce chips with our most advanced transistor technologies," he said."In addition to more than 7,000 construction jobs, the fabs are expected to create 3,000 high-paying, long-term Intel manufacturing and engineering jobs ranging from factory operators and equipment technicians to engineers and business support functions, many of which do not require a 4-year college or advanced degree.
U.S. production of the world's semiconductors has fallen from 37% in 1990 to 12% today, and Gelsinger testified that forecasts show that 12% share will decline further without help. If passed, the legislation figures to speed up development in Licking County and turn the site into perhaps the largest chip-making operation on Earth, Intel has said.
