In October 2025, CHIPS for America re-opened and amended its second funding opportunity to strengthen the resilience of the semiconductor supply chain, advance U.S. technology leadership, and support vibrant domestic semiconductor clusters. This funding opportunity seeks applications for projects for the construction, expansion, or modernization of commercial facilities for semiconductor materials and manufacturing equipment.
Supply chain applicants play a vital role in producing the inputs necessary for producing semiconductors in the United States, support our domestic manufacturing ecosystem, and create jobs and opportunities in communities across the country.
The application process includes two primary phases. In the first phase, applicants will be asked to submit a concept plan describing how their proposed project addresses core program priorities. Concept plans will be accepted until November 1, 2026. The Department will invite the most promising applicants to the second phase, where they will have the opportunity to submit a full application.
