With schools, medical systems and businesses turning to electronics to maintain operations, the demand for silicon chips has skyrocketed. Companies that make semiconductors have prioritized consumer electronics, because technology companies like Apple and HP are able to pay top dollar for chips straight from the silicon foundries. The shortage has impacted the automobile industry, forcing the world’s top automobile manufacturers to restrict or shut down production of new vehicles.
