CHIPS and Science Act
US legislation enacted in 2022 authorizing roughly $280 billion in funding, including approximately $52.7 billion in direct semiconductor manufacturing incentives, to expand domestic chip production and reduce reliance on overseas fabrication. The CHIPS and Science Act was enacted, authorizing roughly $280 billion in funding including approximately $52.7 billion in direct semiconductor manufacturing incentives. By 2026 the Commerce Department had awarded roughly $30.9 billion in direct funding plus $5.5 billion in loans across 19 companies, with the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit set to sunset for construction starts after December 31, 2026.

CHIPS and Science Act ↔ Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company
Apr 2024
TSMC Arizona and the Department of Commerce signed preliminary terms for up to $6.6 billion in CHIPS Act direct funding, supporting a planned $65 billion+ investment across three Phoenix fabs.
Nov 2024
The $6.6 billion award was formally finalized, disbursed against project milestones — the first fab targeting 4nm production in H1 2025, the second targeting 2nm from 2028.
Now
CHIPS Act incentives support TSMC's US manufacturing expansion, including its Arizona fabrication facilities.
CHIPS and Science Act ↔ Intel
Aug 2025
The US government converted $8.9 billion of previously awarded CHIPS Act grants into a 9.9% passive equity stake in Intel in August 2025, an unusual structure tying public support directly to Intel's foundry turnaround.
Now
CHIPS Act grants, partly converted into a 9.9% US government equity stake in August 2025, support Intel's domestic foundry expansion.
