ABOUT CHIPS FOR AMERICA

Semiconductors, or chips, are tiny electronic devices that are integral to
America’s economic and national security. These devices power tools as simple as
a light switch and as complex as a fighter jet or a smartphone. Semiconductors
power our consumer electronics, automobiles, data centers, critical
infrastructure, and virtually all military systems. They are also essential
building blocks of the technologies that will shape our future, including
artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and clean energy.

While the United States remains a global leader in semiconductor design and
research and development, it has fallen behind in manufacturing and now accounts
for only about 10 percent of global commercial production. Today, none of the
most advanced logic and memory chips—the chips that power PCs, smartphones, and
supercomputers—are manufactured at commercial scale in the United States. In
addition, many elements of the semiconductor supply chain are geographically
concentrated, leaving them vulnerable to disruption and endangering the global
economy and U.S. national security.

That’s why President Biden signed the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act of 2022
into law. The law provides the Department of Commerce with $50 billion for a
suite of programs to strengthen and revitalize the U.S. position in
semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing—while also investing in
American workers. CHIPS for America encompasses two offices responsible for
implementing the law: the CHIPS Research and Development Office is investing $11
billion into developing a robust domestic R&D ecosystem, while the CHIPS Program
Office is dedicating $39 billion to provide incentives for investment in
facilities and equipment in the United States. 

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s CHIPS Program Office's first funding
opportunity seeks applications for projects for the construction, expansion, or
modernization of commercial facilities for the fabrication of leading-edge,
current-generation, and mature-node semiconductors. Through that funding
opportunity, the CHIPS Program Office will soon also be accepting applications
for projects for the construction, expansion, or modernization of semiconductor
materials and manufacturing equipment facilities for which the capital
investment equals or exceeds $300 million.

Later in 2023, the CHIPS Program Office will release a dedicated funding
opportunity for semiconductor materials and manufacturing equipment facilities
with capital investments below $300 million, as well as a funding opportunity
for R&D facilities. These investments will be key to restoring U.S. leadership
in semiconductor manufacturing, supporting good-paying jobs across the
semiconductor supply chain, and advancing U.S. economic and national security.
