Happy’s Tech Talk #30: The Analog ComputerSEMI Applauds U.S. Chips Act Award For Entegris Semiconductor Materials Facility in Colorado
July 1, 2024 | SEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
SEMI, the industry association serving the global electronics design and manufacturing supply chain, applauded the United States Department of Commerce's announcement of a Preliminary Memorandum of Terms for an award under the CHIPS and Science Act to support Entegris construction of a state-of-the-art manufacturing center for advanced materials and process solutions for leading-edge semiconductors in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The proposed investment of up to $75 million would strengthen critical semiconductor supply chain materials and create nearly 600 direct manufacturing jobs over several years and approximately 500 construction jobs by 2030.
www.semi.org"SEMI applauds the U.S. Department of Commerce for this expansion of its efforts to bolster the domestic semiconductor supply chain," said Joe Stockunas, President of SEMI Americas. "Truly strengthening advanced chipmaking requires an end-to-end supply chain focus, and the materials segment is vital to semiconductor innovation and, ultimately, technology advancement that is foundational to the global economy and improving the quality of life around the world. We encourage government investments in chip, equipment and materials R&D, as well as in advanced packaging, to support the ecosystem buildout."
"Entegris is working with the SEMI Foundation VetWorks program to bring military veterans into our industry, and we are pleased the company has designated this as a Military Center of Excellence with the goal to recruit 50% of its entire project workforce from veteran and military families," Stockunas said. "Additionally, at a recent SEMI event, Entegris highlighted their focus on sustainability in selecting a site for this new manufacturing facility, very much in line with our Sustainability initiative efforts."
