Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. Why it matters: When the pandemic rolled through the global economy four years ago, it became clear to US officials that they had let its domestic semiconductor manufacturing capabilities deteriorate to dangerous levels. Hence the seeds of the CHIPS and Science Act were planted. The Act was allocated a total of $52.7 billion when it was signed into law in August 2022 and it has been doling out money out ever since. The latest recipient will likely be Texas Instruments, which has plans to use the funding to enhance its footprint in high-volume 300mm wafer capacity.
