CHIPS Program Office Awards

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.

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 CHIPS for America investment would 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.

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 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.

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 proposed CHIPS funding would support the manufacturing of ultra-high purity (UHP) isopropyl alcohol (IPA) used in advanced logic and memory chip production.

The proposed CHIPS investment would also support the expansion of the facility’s SiC epitaxial wafer manufacturing capacity, back-end of line processing, electronic performance, and reliability testing capabilities. SiC substrates are an important bandgap material with end uses in energy and military applications.

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.

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

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.

CHIPS for America’s proposed investment in Oregon 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 proposed CHIPS funding would support the expansion and modernization of MACOM’s existing facility which would increase the production of 100mm Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) semiconductor fabrication and introduce the production of 150mm GaN.

The proposed CHIPS investment would increase the production of 100mm Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) semiconductor fabrication and introduce the production of 150mm GaN.
