Semiconductors, the “brains” of modern electronics, power just about everything in our daily lives, from our smart phones to our internet of things (IoT) devices and laptops. Semiconductors are also particularly important to certain industries like auto manufacturing, where new vehicles have computer systems that contain over 100 million lines of code. In the health care industry, high-tech applications like robotic surgery depend on secure, reliable chips. Advanced chips are needed to enable technologies of the future, like quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
