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. 

Yet, 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. 

In 2022, President Joe Biden signed into law the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022,
which 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.

Now, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s CHIPS Program Office has released its
first funding opportunity, which seeks applications for projects for the
construction, expansion, or modernization of commercial facilities for the
front- and back-end fabrication of leading-edge, current-generation, and
mature-node semiconductors.

Later in 2023, the CHIPS Program Office will release separate funding
opportunities for semiconductor materials and manufacturing equipment
facilities, and 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.
