  2. (b)Compound and wide- and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors;
  3. (c)Radiation-hardened by process (RHBP) semiconductors;
  4. (d)Fully depleted silicon on insulator (FD-SOI) semiconductors, other than with regard to semiconductor packaging operations with respect to such semiconductors of a 28-nonometerer generation or older;
  5. (e)Silicon photonic semiconductors;
  6. (f)Semiconductors designed for quantum information systems;
  7. (g)Semiconductors designed for operation in cryogenic environments (at or below 77 Kelvin); and
  8. (h)Any other semiconductors that the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence, determines is critical to national security and issues a public notice of that determination.
