The National Institute of Standards and Technology of the U.S. offers online webinars about Strategic Vision and Application Processes for Semiconductor Supply Chain Projects. The program is suited for strengthen and revitalizing the U.S. position in semiconductors. Webinars will be held FRI, JUN 23 2023, 3:30 – 4:30 PM EDT
So what are Semiconductors, or chips?
They are tiny electronic devices that are related to America’s economic and national security. These devices power tools as simple as a light switch and as complex as a fighter jet or a smartphone. Semiconductors power our consumer electronics, automobiles, data centers, critical infrastructure, and virtually all military systems. They are also essential building blocks of the technologies that will shape our future, including artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and clean energy.
The U.S. 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.
Later in 2023, the CHIPS Program Office will release separate funding opportunities for semiconductor materials and manufacturing equipment facilities and for R&D facilities. These investments will be key to restoring U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing, supporting good-paying jobs across the semiconductor supply chain, and advancing U.S. economic and national security.
