CHIPS Program Office Awards

The CHIPS for America award will provide Robert Bosch Semiconductor LLC direct funding to support the transformation of its manufacturing facility in Roseville, California, into a state-of-the-art silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor production facility.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Powerex direct funding to support the expansion and modernization of its backend power semiconductor production facility in Youngwood, Pennsylvania, onshoring the power module assembly and packaging pipeline for industrial markets and the defense industrial base.

The CHIPS for America award will provide USA Rare Earth direct funding and a loan agreement to support the development of a vertically integrated “mine-to-magnet” capability in facilities spanning Texas, Oklahoma, and South Carolina. USA Rare Earth will onshore heavy rare earth mining and processing to restore U.S. independence and resilience in these materials, bolstering U.S. national and economic security.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Crucible Metals direct funding to support its smelter and critical minerals processing facility in Clarksville, Tennessee, to reshore critical minerals production and greatly improve supply chain resiliency for semiconductors, aerospace & defense, AI, quantum computing, and industrial sectors.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Vulcan Elements direct funding to purchase equipment for its facility in Benson, North Carolina, for the production of domestic Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnets.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Micron Virginia direct funding to expand and modernize their fabrication facility in Manassas, Virginia to onshore critical technology from Taiwan and greatly improve supply chain resiliency for automotive and industrial markets and the defense industrial base.

The CHIPS for America investment will support the construction of a new, state-of-the-art advanced test and packaging facility focused on meeting the increasing demand for InP PICs.

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 GlobalFoundries up to $125 million in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the revitalization of an existing fabrication facility that is expected to commercialize new 200 mm technologies, which would create the first U.S. facility capable of high-volume manufacturing of next-generation Gallium Nitride on Silicon for use in electric vehicles, power grid, 5G and 6G smartphones, and other critical technologies.

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 investment will support the construction of a new, modernized fab and foundry with over 40,000 square feet of cleanroom space, which would increase its InP PIC manufacturing to meet future capacity and capability demands.

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.

The proposed investment would support the expansion and modernization of IntelliEPI’s existing manufacturing facility in Allen, Texas.
