NIST Resources for CHIPS Act Participants
January 27, 2023 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
At the recent IPC Advanced Packaging Symposium, Dr. Frank W. Gayle, deputy director of the Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office, an interagency team with core staff hosted at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), gave a presentation on the work NIST has recently undertaken in support of both the semiconductor and R&D sectors, and the CHIPS and Science Act.
In Gayle’s presentation, he said the vision for the CHIPS and Science Act (also known as the CHIPS Act) is to develop and preserve three key areas: economic security, national security, and future innovation.
He emphasized that the CHIPS Act is about more than just the semiconductor chips, reserving an entire slide for that point alone. While NIST acknowledges that the U.S. holds an impressive 85% stake in the semiconductor design market, only 3% of the global packaging industry resides within the U.S.
In support of this mission, Gayle drew attention to a series of resources that are now available on NIST.gov:
- Metrology and Standards
“Strategic Opportunities for U.S. Semiconductor Manufacturing: Facilitating U.S. Leadership and Competitiveness through Advancements in Measurements and Standards,” August 2022.
- Stakeholder Input on CHIPS Act
“Incentives, Infrastructure, and Research and Development Needs to Support a Strong Domestic Semiconductor Industry: Summary of Responses to Request for Information,” August 2022. - Commerce Strategy for Implementation
“A Strategy for the CHIPS for America Fund,” September 2022.
- Semiconductor Supply Chain RFI Findings
“Results from Semiconductor Supply Chain Request for Information,” January 2022.
Gayle concluded that the Incentives Program application process will be announced in February 2023 with funding proposals considered on a rolling basis. Learn more about the CHIPS Act at nist.gov.

The Government Circuit: Support for Defense Spending Takes Top Priority
10/15/2024 | Chris Mitchell -- Column: The Government CircuitFor those of us living in the world of politics and policy, the final few weeks before a major election are a little nerve-wracking. Who is going to win? How might the candidates’ campaign promises affect our industry and our strategies over the next few years? One thing I do know: No matter who wins the White House and control of Congress on Nov. 5, IPC will continue working with members of both major parties to advance policies that boost innovation, investment, and growth and ensure the electronics manufacturing industry’s long-term success. We must.
