Two Years of CHIPS Act Implementation Yields Both Results and Concerns
2025-01-13
Recently, the U.S. CHIPS programme office released a document summarising the two-year implementation of the Chip and Science Act.
The Act invested $38 billion to revitalise the local semiconductor industry and strengthen the economy and national security. More than 96 per cent of the funds have been allocated and more than 86 per cent have been disbursed. The results have been remarkable, with a surge in manufacturing investment, a commitment to build 17 new fabs, eight new supply chain and advanced packaging facilities, and five of the world's largest chipmakers investing in the United States. This has boosted U.S. chip production capacity, helped build the semiconductor supply chain, and promoted innovation. The bill also focuses on protecting taxpayer funds.
However, the characteristics of the semiconductor industry pose challenges, and Trump's attitude towards the bill is negative, and if he returns to the White House, the policy uncertainty may affect the relevant enterprises. How to balance the interests of all parties and the rational use of public funds is the key issue facing the bill's follow-up.
