Strengthening the American-Made PCB Industry
America has lost our leadership in microelectronics manufacturing. While there has been government investment in “chips,” there has not been commensurate investment in the remainder of the “technology stack” — namely printed circuit boards (PCBs) and substrates, that are required for the electronic functionality of the “chip” and the device.
Over the past 20 years, PCB production has moved away from the United States at an alarming rate, primarily to Asia. Now, 96% of the world’s PCBs are manufactured outside of the U.S., increasing our dependence on foreign supply chains and creating an unacceptable risk to our national and economic security.
