$36 Billion+ in CHIPS for America Funding Announced
The bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act was signed into law on August 9, 2022 – creating a $52 billion investment to revitalize America’s domestic semiconductor industry and strengthen the country’s economic and national security. CHIPS for America within the U.S. Department of Commerce is responsible for administering $50 billion of the investments in semiconductor incentives and funding for research and development programs. The activities on this page continue the implementation phase of this bipartisan program to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States, strengthen global supply chains, and secure America’s technology leadership in the 21st century.
The CHIPS for America award will provide GlobalFoundries up to $1.45 billion in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the construction of a new, large-scale 300mm fabrication facility, the expansion and modernization of an existing fabrication facility, and the expansion of existing campus to provide advanced packaging technology not currently available in the U.S. It will also support the expansion of the existing Malta, New York fabrication facility, which includes a strategic agreement with General Motors, that is expected to secure a dedicated supply of essential semiconductor technologies.
Award Amount: up to $93 million in direct funding (split across Bethlehem, PA and San Jose, CA)

The CHIPS for America investment would support the construction of a new, state-of-the-art advanced test and packaging facility focused on meeting the increasing demand for InP PICs.
This CHIPS investment will help ensure a reliable domestic supply of important equipment needed for semiconductor manufacturing. This would be a meaningful step towards strengthening U.S. economic and national security, as currently, there is no domestic production of semiconductor-grade dry vacuum pumps.
Proposed Award Amount: up to $105 million in proposed funding (split across Chelmsford, MA; Beaverton, OR, and Camas, WA)

The proposed investment in ADI would support the expansion and modernization of two advanced research & development (R&D) and Radio Frequency (RF) Microwave (MW) systems manufacturing facilities in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
Proposed Award Amount: up to $105 million in proposed funding (split across Chelmsford, MA, Beaverton, OR, and Camas, WA)

CHIPS for America’s proposed investment in Washington would support the expansion of front-end mature node semiconductor manufacturing for devices used in a wide variety of applications, including but not limited to automotive, industrial, and defense applications.
The NSTC is operated by Natcast, a purpose-built, non-profit entity. Natcast works in tandem with the CHIPS NSTC Program, which sits within the Department of Commerce. Read more about the historic and long-lasting investments of NSTC, one of the CHIPS for America R&D Programs here.
The CHIPS for America NSTC Prototyping and National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program (NAPMP) Advanced Packaging Piloting Facility (PPF), an NSTC and NAPMP facility, is expected to be located the Arizona State University (ASU) Research Park in Tempe, Arizona.
The CHIPS for America Design and Collaboration Facility (DCF), an NSTC Facility, is expected to operate in Sunnyvale, California. The proposed facility will play an important role in advancing semiconductor design research, workforce development, investment, and collaboration across the entire semiconductor value chain.
The CHIPS for America Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Accelerator, an NSTC facility (EUV Accelerator), is expected to operate within NY CREATES’ Albany NanoTech Complex in Albany, New York. This proposed facility will bring together NSTC members from across the ecosystem to accelerate semiconductor R&D and innovation by providing NSTC members access to technologies, capabilities, and critical resources.
