It would take the government getting involved to bring the industry back here to be competitive in producing our own chips. Private enterprise isn't interested in the national good. Private enterprise doesn't want the government horning in on their business (and profits).

Americans are willing to pay higher prices for goods made in the USA
Despite statements in articles in places like USA Today from assholes like Nick Ayers who was assistant to the president and chief of staff to the vice president in the Trump administration, saying that Americans will gladly pay more to have all the chips and batteries and drugs and electronics and all the subcontracted auto parts, etc., made in this country. Americans will piss and moan about the prices they pay...because corporate America is not going to reduce their profit margins so that entitled Americans will stop their sniveling about prices. And the fact is that decent profits are important to American business...no profits, no jobs.
