SEALSQ Corp’s Bold Move: Revolutionizing U.S. Semiconductor Independence
1 February 2025
https://mivalle.net.ar/uncategorized-en/sealsq-corps-bold-move-revolutionizing-u-s-semiconductor-independence/72423/
"...SEALSQ Corp is making headlines with a daring leap into the U.S. semiconductor scene through the launch of SEALSQ USA. Setting the stage for a tech revolution, the company is establishing cutting-edge microchip manufacturing facilities in Arizona and New York, with a focus on groundbreaking post-quantum technology. This strategic expansion is more than business; it’s a bold step towards a self-reliant semiconductor ecosystem within the U.S., crucially reducing foreign supply chain dependencies amid rising tariffs concerns.
Central to their mission is an Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) center, promising a suite of services that streamline production—from wafer probing to final testing. Arizona is already buzzing with activity as construction kicks off, while New York is eagerly anticipating its own site launch by 2025. This visionary move aligns seamlessly with America’s push to fortify its technological foundations against global uncertainties..."
