In August 2022, President Joe Biden signed into law the CHIPS and Science Act. The CHIPS Act established a CHIPS for America Fund, totaling approximately $50 billion, for the U.S. Department of Commerce to administer to strengthen semiconductor manufacturing in America, where the integrated circuit was first invented. In addition to the construction of new fabs, CHIPS for America addresses the need for a resilient domestic microelectronics supply chain of materials and equipment suppliers, and a workforce trained for a range of technical capabilities. This talk will provide details about the rapidly developing CHIPS for America program, including the Research and Development Office, along with updates and some examples to illustrate the CHIPS vision for interaction with the semiconductor community.
