was signed into law in August 2022. Its aim is to boost US based semiconductor manufacturing, and not just for commercial reasons, but for broader strategic reasons including the desire to reduce reliance on manufacturing in Asia. Some of the money allocated to woo chipmakers onto US soil is soon to flow, with Samsung, Intel and TSMC set to receive billions in grants and subsidies.
Samsung is building a 4nm EUV manufacturing facility in Taylor, Texas, which is due to begin operations in 2025. The fab was originally estimated to cost around $17 billion, butreports the new fab will cost as much as $25 billion, reportedly as a result of inflation and higher labor costs. It would be reasonable to expect Samsung to use the incoming funds to offset that cost increase, but Bloomberg's sources indicate Samsung is planning to expand beyond its Texas operations, though for now, just what that entails remains unknown.. It's also expanding its Arizona facilities and in January it opened its Fab 9 plant in New Mexico. The Ohio plant has been subject to several delays, so the incoming CHIPS money will be a welcome shot in the arm.
