CHIPS Program Office Awards

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

The CHIPS for America award will provide BAE Systems up to $35.5 million in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support a modernization project that will replace aging tools and quadruple the production of chips necessary for critical defense programs, including the $1.7 trillion F-35 fighter jet program.

The CHIPS for America award will provide the company with up to $6.6 billion in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the company’s planned investment of more than $65 billion in three greenfield leading-edge fabs in Phoenix, Arizona.

The proposed investment in Powerex would support the modernization and expansion of the company’s back-end production facility in Youngwood, Pennsylvania.

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.

The proposed funding would support the construction of a new silicon carbide wafer manufacturing facility in Siler City, North Carolina, helping to secure a reliable domestic supply of the semiconductors that will underpin the future energy economy and AI boom.

The CHIPS for America award will provide the company with up to $123 million in total direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to expand and modernize the company’s manufacturing facility in Bloomington, Minnesota, doubling its U.S. production capacity of sensor and power chips within two years.

The proposed CHIPS investment would support the construction of RVM’s pure play microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and sensor foundry facility in Palm Bay, Florida, and is estimated to nearly triple RVM’s manufacturing capacity. MEMS are microscale devices that integrate electrical and mechanical components; their integration with semiconductor components across a wide range of applications enables technology advancements and improved performance.
