Cour des comptes : la France investit massivement en semiconducteurs mais sans cap précis
法国审计法院近日发布报告指出，2018年至2025年间，法国已规划投入87亿欧元公共资金支持微电子产业，但缺乏清晰的产业需求图谱，也未按芯片类型设定量化目标。
报告以意法半导体与格芯合作的"Liberty"项目为例，说明法国在半导体领域虽展现出雄心，但整体战略缺乏明确导向。审计法院强调，巨额公共投资需配以更细致的产业路线图，以确保资金有效使用并提升法国在关键领域的自主能力。
目前法国半导体扶持政策覆盖研发、生产到生态建设，但审计机构认为，需进一步明确各类芯片（如模拟、功率、传感器等）的具体发展目标，避免资源分散。报告建议政府制定更精准的战略规划，以应对全球半导体竞争与技术主权挑战。
France is investing heavily in semiconductor manufacturing but lacks a clear strategic roadmap, according to a critical report from the Cour des comptes, the country's national audit office. Between 2018 and 2025, public aid for the microelectronics sector is programmed to reach €8.7 billion.
The auditors warn that this massive financial commitment is not guided by a clear mapping of national industrial needs or by quantified objectives for different types of chips. This strategic ambiguity risks diluting the impact of the investment.
The report cites the "Liberty" project—a joint venture between STMicroelectronics and GlobalFoundries to build a new fab in Crolles—as a prime example that illustrates both France's ambitions and the underlying strategic shortcomings. While emblematic of the investment push, the project underscores the absence of a broader, targeted framework to ensure such initiatives collectively serve defined national and European sovereignty goals.
The Cour des comptes concludes that without establishing precise benchmarks and a coherent industrial policy, France's considerable public spending may not yield the desired strengthening of the semiconductor value chain or technological autonomy.
Avec 8,7 Md€ d’aides publiques programmées entre 2018 et 2025, la France soutient sa filière microélectronique, mais sans cartographie claire de ses besoins ni objectifs chiffrés par type de puces, alerte la Cour des comptes. Le projet Liberty, associant ST et GlobalFoundries, est notamment cité en exemple pour illustrer à la fois les ambitions et […]
