SIA Commends CHIPS Act Incentives for Coherent, SkyWater Technology, X-FAB
December 9, 2024 | SIAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) released the following statement from SIA President and CEO John Neuffer applauding CHIPS and Science Act manufacturing investments announced by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Coherent, SkyWater Technology, and X-FAB. The Coherent project in Sherman, TX will expand production of indium phosphide wafers. The SkyWater Technology project in Bloomington, MN will expand mature-node foundry capacity. And the X-FAB project in Lubbock, TX will expand production of silicon carbide wafers.
“The CHIPS Act investments announced today will reinforce U.S. supply chains for current-generation and mature-node semiconductors, thereby helping to strengthen America’s economic and national security. We applaud Coherent, SkyWater, and X-FAB for investing ambitiously in the domestic semiconductor ecosystem, and we applaud the Commerce Department for advancing these important incentives.”
The CHIPS Act is on track to strengthen American manufacturing, create jobs, boost economic growth, and promote national security. 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.
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.
