The global semiconductor industry is undergoing a massive transformation driven by unprecedented government intervention, geopolitical tensions, and aggressive regionalization strategies. "Global Semiconductor Industrial Policy and Regionalization" is an in-depth course designed to decode the complex web of subsidies, tax credits, and strategic maneuvers reshaping the modern semiconductor supply chain.

The global semiconductor industry is undergoing a massive transformation driven by unprecedented government intervention, geopolitical tensions, and aggressive regionalization strategies. "Global Semiconductor Industrial Policy and Regionalization" is an in-depth course designed to decode the complex web of subsidies, tax credits, and strategic maneuvers reshaping the modern semiconductor supply chain. From the U.S. CHIPS Act and its $50 billion funding pools to the critical 2025 policy pivots involving government equity and renegotiated awards, this course offers a comprehensive analysis of how nations are competing for technological supremacy.

Students will explore the intricacies of the Section 48D tax credit, the EU Chips Act, Japan's Rapidus model, South Korea's Gyeonggi Mega Cluster, and India's Semiconductor Mission. Furthermore, the curriculum critically examines China's Big Fund III in response to export controls and the realities of the "China Plus One" strategy. Beyond the financial and policy frameworks, this course tackles the critical execution gaps—such as why American fabs take twice as long to build—and the looming workforce bottleneck of a 67,000-worker shortfall. Finally, you will understand the limits of regionalization, particularly concerning back-end packaging dependencies and upstream concentration. Whether you are a policymaker, supply chain executive, or industry analyst, this course provides the strategic insights needed to navigate the new era of semiconductor industrial policy.

Chapter 11: Global Semiconductor Industrial Policy and Regionalization

<div class="simple-box-wrapper">
    <div class="simple-box">
        <div class="column">
            <p>The global semiconductor landscape is undergoing a profound transformation driven by unprecedented state intervention and the strategic imperative of regionalization. As nations recognize the critical nature of advanced microelectronics for economic and national security, governments are deploying massive capital to secure their domestic supply chains. This course provides a comprehensive examination of these global industrial policies, beginning with the United States' landmark CHIPS Act, its $39 billion manufacturing and $11 billion R&D pools, and the critical Section 48D tax credits. It further explores the dramatic 2025 policy pivot, analyzing the shift from traditional grants to strategic government equity and renegotiated awards, which sets a new precedent for public-private partnerships and guardrails in high-tech manufacturing.</p>

<p>Beyond the United States, the curriculum delves into the competitive responses and strategic positioning of major global players. Learners will analyze the three pillars of the EU Chips Act, Japan's Rapidus model, South Korea's Gyeonggi Mega Cluster, and India's evolving Semiconductor Mission within the context of the "China Plus One" strategy. Additionally, the course addresses China's strategic countermeasures through its Big Fund III in response to international export controls. Crucially, policy design is only half the equation; this course rigorously examines the execution gaps that threaten these ambitious initiatives. By investigating the regulatory and labor reasons behind delayed American fab construction, the looming 67,000-worker shortfall, and the persistent vulnerabilities in back-end packaging and upstream concentration, participants will gain a realistic understanding of the limits and future trajectory of semiconductor regionalization.</p>
