SIA Statement on Chip Security Act
March 3, 2026 | SIAEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) released the following statement from President and CEO John Neuffer opposing the Chip Security Act (S. 1705/H.R. 3447).
“SIA members are fully committed to complying with export controls, and we strongly oppose the illicit diversion and misuse of our chip technologies. While we understand policymakers’ interest in addressing this issue, we cannot support blanket mandates for new, untested, and potentially infeasible on-chip mechanisms, such as what is being proposed in the Chip Security Act. Rushing to legislate complex, costly, and unproven security features risks undermining global trust in American semiconductor technologies and efforts to promote the export of the American AI technology stack, eroding our global leadership and competitiveness.
“Our companies work closely with government agencies, law enforcement, and other relevant stakeholders to prevent and detect illegal diversion and misuse of our products. We stand ready to engage with Congress to explore approaches to effectively address these risks, and to ensure American semiconductor technologies lay at the foundation of the global AI ecosystem.”

EDADOC: Building the ‘Neural Hub’ for High-Compute Chips Within a Compact Space
04/28/2026 | ECIOEvery chip to the market must pass a stringent checkpoint before shipment known as ATE testing. Serving as the physical “neural hub” that connects test equipment worth millions of dollars with the device under test, the performance of the ATE test board directly determines the accuracy, efficiency, and final yield of chip testing. Amid the rapid rise of high-compute chips, what extreme challenges is this seemingly small circuit board facing? How is EDADOC addressing industry pain points through its one-stop “design + manufacturing” model?
