SIA Applauds CHIPS Incentives for Hemlock Manufacturing Expansion in Michigan
October 22, 2024 | SIAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today released the following statement from SIA President and CEO John Neuffer applauding semiconductor manufacturing incentives announced by the U.S. Department of Commerce and Hemlock Semiconductor (HSC).
Today’s announced incentives are designed to help HSC build a new hyper-pure semiconductor-grade polysilicon facility in Michigan.
“Polysilicon is a critical material used in the production of semiconductors, and extremely high-purity polysilicon is needed to produce the advanced chips powering AI, autonomous driving, telecommunications, and more. By expanding HSC’s ability to produce high-purity polysilicon, these incentives will help strengthen America’s supply chain resilience, national security, and technological leadership. We applaud HSC for investing ambitiously in America and commend the U.S. Department of Commerce for its work to diligently allocate CHIPS incentives.”
The U.S. Department of Commerce previously announced incentives for a range of companies and projects that will help strengthen the U.S. semiconductor supply chain.
The CHIPS Act’s manufacturing incentives have sparked substantial announced investments in the U.S. In fact, companies in the semiconductor ecosystem have announced 90 new projects across 28 U.S. states—totaling hundreds of billions of dollars in private investments—since the CHIPS Act was introduced. These announced projects will create more than 58,000 jobs in the semiconductor ecosystem and support hundreds of thousands of additional U.S. jobs throughout the U.S. economy.
An SIA-Boston Consulting Group report released in May projected the United States will triple its domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity from 2022—when CHIPS was enacted—to 2032. The projected 203% growth is the largest projected percent increase in the world over that time. The report also projected America will capture over one-quarter (28%) of total global capital expenditures (capex) from 2024-2032.
