California selected as headquarters for the National Semiconductor Technology Center
Gov. Newsom recently celebrated California’s selection by the U.S. Department of Commerce to be home to the headquarters for the new National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC). This new facility, known as the Design and Collaboration Facility (DCF), will be one of the three CHIPS for America research and design (R&D) facilities and will also operate as the headquarters of Natcast, the non-profit entity designated by Commerce to operate the NSTC.
Why this matters
The new headquarters facility will lower the barriers to semiconductor prototyping, experimentation, and other R&D activities that will support America’s global strength and leadership in design, materials, and process innovation while enabling a vibrant domestic industry. The DCF is expected to drive more than $1 billion in research funding and create more than 200 direct jobs over the next 10 years, utilizing California’s global talent and world-leading research and education facilities throughout the Golden State. California’s leadership in the semiconductor industry is key to the Governor’s ‘build more, faster’ infrastructure agenda.
About the new headquarters (Design and Collaboration Facility, DCF)
The DCF will convene semiconductor industry leaders from across the U.S., offering unparalleled engagement and collaboration opportunities to a diverse array of stakeholders across the semiconductor value chain, and will administer the NSTC Design Enablement Gateway, helping drive technological advances in semiconductor design and manufacturing to transfer at scale. The facility will also oversee the NSTC Workforce Center of Excellence to build and sustain the diverse and skilled workforce necessary for the U.S. semiconductor industry to grow. With the largest public higher education system in the U.S., world-class research institutions like UC Berkeley and Stanford, and surrounding national labs, California’s unmatched talent pipeline will foster a dynamic workforce that advances the DCF mission.
