CHIPS Incentives Program – Commercial Fabrication Facilities

The CHIPS Incentives Program aims to catalyze long-term economically sustainable growth in the domestic semiconductor industry in support of U.S. economic and national security. This is the first Notice of Funding Opportunity under this program. It 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.

For more information, additional resources, and instructions on how to apply, please visit chips.gov. Note that all applications must be submitted through the CHIPS Incentives Portal at http://applications.chips.gov. If you have any questions on how to apply, please email apply@chips.gov.

An applicant must be a “covered entity” to receive CHIPS Incentives. For purposes of this NOFO, a “covered entity” means a nonprofit entity; a private-sector entity; a consortium of private-sector entities; or a consortium of nonprofit, public, and private-sector entities with a demonstrated ability to substantially finance, construct, expand, or modernize a facility relating to fabrication, assembly, testing, advanced packaging, or production of semiconductors.
