Subject
Summary:

SEMATECH--formed in 1987 to help the United States regain its leadership role in semiconductor production--has shown that a government-industry research and development alliance can help improve a U.S. industry's technological position while protecting the government's interest that the consortium be managed well. Whether this feat can be replicated and what conditions would lead to this result in other cases is uncertain. This report discusses the specific strengths and weaknesses of SEMATECH and makes suggestions to Congress in considering any future support for consortia intended to improve the competitive position of U.S. manufacturers.
