He expressed the fear that the size of the investments in the institutes needed to be much larger. Erica Fuchs discussed the scale of investment needed for advanced manufacturing products, explaining that advanced manufacturing capability advances economic growth, "but we are not putting in money at a scale that we have put in the past toward this problem." She compared the investments in new semiconductor technologies to be "an order of magnitude less than we were making alone for SEMATECH, which was just doing one- to three-year out equipment upgrading."
