Reliance, whose interest in making semiconductors has not been previously reported, did not respond to repeated requests for comment. India's IT ministry and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's office also did not respond to requests for comment. The country does not as yet have any chip manufacturing plants, although India's Vedanta (VDAN.NS) and Taiwan's Foxconn (2317.TW) are both looking at building facilities. India's government has forecast the domestic chip market will be worth $80 billion by 2028 compared with $23 billion currently. But chip manufacturing is an industry that has historically been beset with boom and bust cycles and requires much expertise.

She enrolled in a 10-day semiconductor training course and landed a new job at Intel soon after. A few weeks later, she told Insider, she received an email about the "Quick Start" program — a 10-day crash course on how to be a semiconductor processing technician. The Quick Start program's website says that semiconductor companies will hire over 20,000 workers in Arizona in the coming years. Of 240 former Quick Start students who filled out an employment outcome form as of June 30th, 75, or 31%, said they had been "hired in field," per MCCC. "I start work at 5:45 AM, and I get off at 6:15 PM," she said.

REUTERS/Amit DaveGANDHINAGAR, India July 26 (Reuters) - Top executives from Foxconn and semiconductor firms Micron and AMD will this week attend a conference in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state, as the government tries to lure investments into India's nascent chip industry. Modi will inaugurate the annual SemiconIndia conference in Gandhinagar, in western state of Gujarat, on Friday. The event comes just weeks after Foxconn backed out of a $19.5 billion chips joint venture with Vedanta, saying "the project was not moving fast enough". Which explains the skepticism of global chip giants to come here and set shop," said Arun Mampazhy, a former India manager of U.S.-based chipmaker GlobalFoundries.

July 11 (Reuters) - Chipmaker GlobalFoundries (GFS.O) has shelved its plan to appoint former Amazon executive Tim Stone as chief financial officer, it said on Tuesday, two months after choosing him. It said current CFO David Reeder will remain in the role through the end of the year as it looks for a new candidate. GlobalFoundries had in May named Stone, who was at Amazon (AMZN.O) for more than 20 years and served as CFO for AWS and Devices businesses. The chipmaker counts companies including Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O), STMicroelectronics (STMPA.PA), Qualcomm (QCOM.O) and Lockheed Martin (LMT.N) among its customers.

BENGALURU, July 5 (Reuters Breakingviews) - India’s semiconductor dreams are facing a harsh reality. After struggling to woo cutting-edge chipmakers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (2330.TW) to set up operations in the country, the government may now have to settle for producing less-advanced chips instead. Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to “usher in a new era of electronics manufacturing” by turning India into a chipmaking powerhouse. Mining conglomerate Vedanta’s $19.5 billion joint venture with iPhone supplier Foxconn (2317.TW) has stalled; plans for a separate $3 billion manufacturing facility appear to be in limbo, Reuters reported in May. Aiming lower could be just what India’s chip ambitions need.

June 12 (Reuters) - Chipmaker GlobalFoundries (GFS.O) and missile manufacturer Lockheed Martin (LMT.N) on Monday announced their partnership to secure domestic semiconductor supply for defense systems. The strategic collaboration will secure manufacturing across a range of advanced and next-generation chips, and will allow leveraging of GlobalFoundries' technology to increase anti-fragility in microelectronics systems and supply chains. Defense companies have been grappling with supply chain disruptions including that from global chip shortages, which continue to hurt production. Lockheed Martin along with GlobalFoundries will also pursue external funding opportunities, technology development and collaboration with the U.S. government. GlobalFoundries' manufacturing facilities in New York and Vermont have accreditation from the U.S. government and are authorized to produce secure chips used in sensitive mission systems.

PARIS, June 5 (Reuters) - France said on Monday it will provide 2.9 billion euros ($3.10 billion) in state aid to help support an investment of 7.5 billion euros that chipmakers STMicroelectronics and GlobalFoundries (GFS.O) are making to build a semiconductor factory in Crolles, southeastern France. The 2.9 billion euros are part of the 5.5 billion euros package France has set aside for its investments in the microchip sector by 2030, he added. On April 28, STMicroelectronics and GlobalFoundries secured EU approval to build the Crolles chip factory with French state aid. France overall aims to create 10,000 new jobs in the semiconductor sector by 2030.

☆ GlobalFoundries Files Trade-Secrets Lawsuit Against IBM

OAKLAND, California, April 19 (Reuters) - Chip manufacturer GlobalFoundries Inc (GFS.O) said on Wednesday it had filed a lawsuit against International Business Machines Corp (IBM.N), accusing it of unlawfully sharing confidential intellectual property and trade secrets. New York-based GlobalFoundries said in its complaint that IBM had shared IP and trade secrets with Rapidus, a new state-backed Japanese consortium that IBM is working with to develop and produce cutting-edge two-nanometre chips. It also asserted that IBM had unlawfully disclosed and misused its IP with Intel Corp (INTC.O), noting that IBM had announced in 2021 it would collaborate with Intel on next-generation chip technology. "IBM is unjustly receiving potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in licensing income and other benefits," GlobalFoundries said in a statement. GlobalFoundries is seeking compensatory and punitive damages as well as an injunction against IBM to stop using the trade secrets.

The size of subsidies under the EU Chips Act, which aims to tempt the world's top chipmakers to build factories in the bloc and double its share of global output to 20% by 2030, lags the $52 billion CHIPS for America Act. Taiwan accounts for more than 60% of global chip production and concerns are growing about heightened tensions between Taipei and Beijing. But Europe's relatively modest subsidies could put a brake on its ambition, said Richard Windsor of research company Radio Free Mobile. GOOD STARTThe EU Chips Act is a good start given the EU has little choice but to join the subsidy race, but the bloc should play to its chipmaking strengths, said Christopher Cytera, research fellow at the Centre for European Policy Analysis. Catching up on the chips race is more than just building factories and the Chips Act acknowledges this with its focus on developing skilled labour for the future, said Anielle Guedes, senior research analyst at IDC Technologies.

One tech fund is capitalizing on the artificial intelligence boom — and beating 90% of its peers this year. "is probably the largest technology theme, driver and disrupter in the next 10 plus years," said Adam Benjamin, fund manager of the $9.5-billion Fidelity Select Technology Fund (FSPTX). Companies that rushed to embrace digital transformation during the pandemic continue to seek ways to improve efficiency through large language models like ChatGPT enabled by A.I., Benjamin said. "In terms of who is really driving the adoption and will be the enabler behind this technology, Nvidia is really far up," Benjamin said. Going into the period of higher rates, software "had gotten probably several orders of magnitude out of whack relative to historical valuations," Benjamin said.

The European Commission announced the Chips Act last year in a bid to cut EU reliance on U.S. and Asian semiconductors following global supply chain problems that hurt European businesses from carmakers to manufacturers. EU countries and lawmakers will meet at the European Parliament's monthly session in Strasbourg on April 18 to negotiate details of funding for the Act and will likely clinch a deal, the people said. Providing funding to the entire value chain also addresses complaints from the smaller EU countries about being left out after Intel (INTC.O), attracted by the Chips Act, picked Germany for its new mega chip manufacturing complex. Franco-Italian company STMicroelectronics has also teamed up with GlobalFoundries (GFS.O) to build a 6.7 billion euro chip factory in France, drawing on funding from the government.
