SEMI announced that the SEMI North America Advisory Board has presented the annual SEMI Americas Government Leadership Award to US Senate Majority Leader Charles (Chuck) Schumer in recognition of his extraordinary support of the US semiconductor industry.
SEMI Americas president Joe Stockunas and TEL VP Ben Rathsack presented Sen. Schumer with the award this week at the US Capitol Building.
The SEMI North America Advisory Board selects SEMI Americas Government Leadership Award honorees based on their impact on policies and incentives to bolster semiconductor design and manufacturing in the Americas region and advance the growth of the global industry.
"Senator Schumer is the embodiment of a semiconductor industry champion,” Stockunas said. “His visionary leadership was instrumental in the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act, paving the way for the creation of thousands of jobs and the infusion of billions of dollars into the U.S. chip ecosystem to help strengthen the resilience of the global semiconductor supply chain. The funding awards include recent grants for GlobalFoundries and Micron facilities in New York that will support research and development at the Albany NanoTech Complex critical to national security.
“Senator Schumer’s steadfast support, from the drafting of the CHIPS Act to its implementation, continues to bring tangible benefits to communities, businesses and the US as a whole, contributing to its national and economic security,” Stockunas said. “We commend Senator Schumer for his outstanding contributions and tireless efforts to help ensure the semiconductor industry reaches its full potential."
