Compound Semiconductor (Newport Wafer Fab), ARM IP, Design Centers
The UK's primary semiconductor asset is ARM Holdings (Cambridge) — the world's dominant processor IP licensor, whose architecture powers >95% of mobile chips and is rapidly expanding into AI accelerators, data center, and automotive. Newport Wafer Fab (South Wales) is the UK's largest silicon fab, producing compound semiconductors for 5G and defense. The UK Semiconductor Strategy (2023) commits £1B and establishes a Semiconductor Advisory Panel. UK NSIA legislation screens semiconductor M&A for national security risk — it was used to require partial divestment of Newport Wafer Fab from Nexperia (China-linked). Cambridge, Bristol, and Edinburgh host major design clusters for EDA, RF, and photonics.
