文摘:President Joe Biden has signed the 'historic' $52bn CHIPS Act into law to place the US as a forerunner in the semiconductor market and revitalize domestic manufacturing. The US President implemented the industrial strategy on August 9, which sets aside funding for new semiconductor programs, including $39bn for a grant program available to semiconductor manufacturers as well as equipment and materials suppliers. Further to the above, the Act also includes $2bn for the legacy chips used in automobiles and defense systems, $13.2bn in R&D and workforce development and $500m to provide for international information communications technology security and semiconductor supply chain activities. As gasworld reported in recent months in an exclusive interview with Caroline Metcalf-Vera, Government Affairs at Electronic Fluorocarbons, the Act could have seen the semiconductor supply chain benefit from $5bn of new capital. Progress for the CHIPS Act comes as the US semiconductor is witnessing unprecedented demands and strained supply chains. According to the US Department of Commerce, demand for semiconductors in the US was as much as 17% higher in 2021 than it was in 2019.
