Semiconductors & Chips

The semiconductor industry is bifurcating into US/allied and China-centric ecosystems while facing a materials crisis in helium, bromine, and tungsten that rivals the equipment chokepoints.

The thesis

Category overview

The semiconductor industry faces simultaneous crises: TSMC controls 90%+ of advanced nodes, materials shortages (helium, bromine, tungsten) rival the equipment chokepoints, Intel Ohio delayed to 2030, and half of planned US data centers stalled. The constraint has shifted from chip design to electricity, packaging, and specialty chemicals.
