The CHIPS investment will enable Corning to increase production of High Purity Fused Silica (HPFS) and EXTREME ULE Glass (Ultra Low Expansion Glass) and scale a novel technology manufacturing process in Canton.

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.

The proposed CHIPS investment is expected to catalyze its planned expansion of its device manufacturing facility which would contribute to the growth of the facility as the world’s first fully automated 200mm silicon carbide power device fab and increase its production capacity.

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.

RIT will use anticipated funding to implement the Broadening Research and Inter-Disciplinary Graduate Education (BRIDGE) for Microelectronics program, with the goal to train 555 students at the bachelor’s and master’s degree levels, and through a new online certificate program, across microelectronics-related educational tracks.

AFTEF will use anticipated funding to expand a partnership with Micron to implement an Advanced Technology Framework in high schools across New York, Michigan, and Minnesota. The program aims to equip students with the skills needed for careers in the microchip industry, fostering talent and bridging the gap between education and industry demands.

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.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Micron New York up to $4.6 billion in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support construction of the first two fabs of planned four fab “megafab” focused on leading-edge DRAM chip production. Each fab will have 600,000 square feet of cleanrooms, totaling 2.4 million square feet of cleanroom space across the four facilities—the largest amount of cleanroom space ever announced in the United States and the size of nearly 40 football fields.
