CHIPS Program Office Awards

The CHIPS for America award will provide GlobaWafers with $20 million in direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the construction of a 300mm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer-manufacturing facility, critical for advanced semiconductor applications.

The CHIPS for America award will provide GlobaWafers with $380 million in direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the construction of a 300mm silicon wafer manufacturing facility for all chips, including leading-edge, mature-node, and memory chips.

This proposed CHIPS for America investment would support Bosch’s planned investment to transform its manufacturing facility in Roseville, California, for production of silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Micron New York 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.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Micron Boise Idaho direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the development of two high-volume manufacturing (HVM) fabs, with approximately 600,000 square feet of cleanroom space focused on the production of leading-edge DRAM chips. The fabs would be co-located with the company’s R&D facility to improve efficiency across their R&D and manufacturing operations, reducing lags in technology transfer and cutting time-to-market for leading-edge memory products.

The proposed investment in Coherent would support the expansion and modernization of the company’s existing facility in Sherman, Texas.

The proposed investment in SkyWater Technology Foundry would support the modernization of its existing facility in Bloomington, Minnesota.

The proposed investment in X-Fab would support the modernization and expansion of its existing silicon carbide fab in Lubbock, Texas.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Absolics up to $75 million in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the construction of a 120,000 square-foot facility in Covington, Georgia and the development of substrates technology for use in semiconductor advanced packaging.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Entegris up to $77 million in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the construction of its state-of-the-art manufacturing center in Colorado Springs. The center is being built in multiple phases: the first to support production of FOUPs — which are currently entirely produced abroad — and liquid filter membranes, and the second phase to support the production of advanced liquid filters and purifiers as well as fluid handling solutions. In addition to the manufacturing center, Entegris is also committed to further expanding their R&D capabilities in the United States by the end of the decade.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Intel Ohio up to $1.5 billion in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the creation of a new regional chipmaking ecosystem, anchored by a new leading-edge logic fab which will produce the Intel 14A node and other future Intel nodes and expand leading-edge foundry capacity.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Intel Oregon up to $1.86 billion in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the investment in the premier hub of leading-edge research and development in the United States through the expansion and modernization of technology development facilities that will utilize the world’s first commercial High-NA EUV lithography equipment.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Intel Arizona up to $3.94 billion in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the construction of two new leading-edge logic fabs and modernization of one existing fab, significantly increasing leading-edge logic capacity, including high volume domestic production of Intel 18A – the company’s most advanced chip design that enables higher performing, leading-edge chips through RibbonFET gate-all-around transistors and PowerVia backside power delivery.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Intel New Mexico up to $500 million in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the modernization of two existing fabs into an advanced packaging facility to close an important gap in the domestic semiconductor supply chain.

The CHIPS for America award will provide Rocket Lab up to $23.9 million in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the creation of a more robust and resilient supply of space-grade solar cells that power spacecrafts and satellites. The modernization and expansion project would increase Rocket Lab’s compound semiconductor production by 50% within the next three years – helping to meet the growing national security and commercial demand for these solar cells in the United States.
