No one can be sure how this current trade war between the U.S. and China will end. But we’re feeling its impacts every day. While no person or business can escape the effects of this volatile market, semiconductor manufacturers have a unique challenge to deal with. Not only must they handle rising costs and taxes, but they also must figure out how to advance forward facing export restrictions from China. Rare earths vital in the production of semiconductors come primarily from China, but new controls will limit American companies’ access to those materials. In this Spotlight, we talk with TECHCET CEO and Founder, Lita Shon-Roy, to learn more about the origins of this trade war, how it impacts the semiconductor industry, and what it will take to bring this chapter of turmoil to a close. Spotlight from "All Things Photonics"® is a special series of intimate sit-down conversations with preeminent figures in our industry.
