The CHIPS Act, passed by the United States Congress in 2022, aims to reduce the risk of foreign supply shocks, bolster U.S. technological competitiveness, and reduce risks of foreign-produced chips used in critical national security systems. The Commerce Department's Chips Program Office (CPO) has begun allocating funds to build advanced chip manufacturing facilities in the United States and revitalize the nation's semiconductor R&D infrastructure. Progress has been made, with preliminary deals signed with leading fabrication companies to establish clusters in Arizona, Texas, Ohio, and New York. The long-term success of the CHIPS Act depends on sustaining manufacturing capacity and innovation, as well as securing supply chains for defense systems. [Extracted from the article] |
