Led by the former chairmen of Intel and SEMATECH, this report examines and compares public-private partnership programs that have been established around the world for the purpose of promoting semiconductor industries. The report finds declining levels of support in the U.S. and significant program growth abroad.  It also discusses policy implications, recommending that the U.S. government devote more resources for university-based semiconductor research.
