CHIPS and Science Act
$52B US law subsidizing domestic fab construction and R&D
The 2022 CHIPS Act appropriated ~$52B (about $39B in manufacturing incentives plus R&D) plus a 25% investment tax credit to reshore leading-edge semiconductor production. Major awards went to Intel (~$8B+), TSMC Arizona (~$6.6B), Samsung Taylor (~$4.7B), and Micron. In 2025 the government controversially converted parts of Intel's grants into a ~10% equity stake, and TSMC/others expanded commitments amid tariff threats — reshaping the US foundry landscape this layer feeds.
