The CHIPS Program Office’s vision for success involves meeting the following objectives by the end of the decade:
to offer the public a clear sense of where their tax dollars will go as the federal government begins to execute on an investment in American industry of a scale and ambition that is unprecedented in our recent history. to explain program ambitions to a broader set of stakeholders, including customers, workers, universities, investors, Congress, state and local governments, allies and partners, and the wider economic and national security communities and. to help applicants develop proposals consistent with program goals. In releasing this document, the CHIPS Program Office has three principal aims: Later in 2023, the CHIPS Program Office will release separate funding opportunities for semiconductor materials and manufacturing equipment facilities, and for R&D facilities. This document lays out the CHIPS Program Office’s “Vision for Success” for these investments. Department of Commerce’s CHIPS Program Office has released its first funding opportunity, which seeks applications for projects for the construction, expansion, or modernization of commercial facilities for the front- and back-end fabrication of leading-edge, current-generation, and mature-node semiconductors. Moreover, because continued investment in manufacturing technology and related R&D improves technical knowledge and spurs virtuous cycles of innovation, America’s lack of production capacity also jeopardizes its technology leadership and ability to compete globally over the long term.Īgainst this backdrop, the U.S. In addition, many elements of the semiconductor supply chain are geographically concentrated, leaving them vulnerable to disruption and endangering the global economy and U.S. Today, none of the most advanced logic and memory chips-the chips that power PCs, smartphones, and supercomputers-are manufactured at commercial scale in the United States. 
Yet while the United States remains a global leader in semiconductor design and research and development (R&D), it has fallen behind in manufacturing and now accounts for only about 10 percent of commercial global production. Semiconductors are integral to America’s economic and national security, powering our consumer electronics, automobiles, data centers, critical infrastructure, and virtually all military systems.
