The measure, approved by the Senate two weeks ago and expected to be signed soon by President Reagan, is meant to safeguard the years of research and the tens of millions of dollars that it takes to create a chip that can pack several hundred thousand electronic circuits onto a silicon sliver smaller than a fingernail. One target of the legislation: the Japanese, who have become the world's No. 2 chipmakers after the U.S., partly by duplicating American designs...
