CHIPS for America is offering funding to help expand semiconductor packaging in the U . S . The Department of Commerce is inviting applications for research and development projects focused on advanced packaging substrates and materials . The program is expected to provide around $300 million for innovation in semiconductor technology . This initiative is part of President Biden ' s efforts to support American innovation and strengthen the semiconductor industry . Advanced packaging is crucial for improving system performance and supporting various applications like AI , telecommunications , and autonomous vehicles . The goal is to establish a strong domestic packaging industry within the next decade . U . S . Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and NIST Director Laurie E . Locascio emphasize the importance of materials and substrates for advancing semiconductor packaging . About CHIPS for America: It ' s part of President Biden ' s economic plan to invest in America , stimulate private sector investment , create good - paying jobs , increase domestic production , and revive communities that have been left behind . CHIPS for America consists of the CHIPS Program Office , which is responsible for manufacturing incentives , and the CHIPS Research and Development ( R&D ) Office , which handles R&D programs . Both offices are located within the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) at the Department of Commerce . NIST promotes U . S . innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science , standards , and technology to enhance economic security and improve our quality of life . NIST is well - suited to administer the CHIPS for America program due to its strong relationships with U . S . industries , deep understanding of the semiconductor ecosystem , and reputation for fairness and trustworthiness . To learn more , visit https://www . chips . gov . Tags: CHIPS for America . CHIPS for America will provide a briefing on the details of the NOFO on March 1 , 2024 , at 3 pm ET . If you ' re interested in joining the webinar , make sure to register in advance . Additionally , on March 12 , 2024 , CHIPS for America ' s NAPMP Program will host a one - day meeting for potential applicants of this funding opportunity . For more information and to register for the event , please visit chips . gov . With this funding opportunity , we ' re taking the first step towards strengthening domestic advanced packaging approaches so that semiconductor manufacturers can have access to a full range of U . S . - based manufacturing capabilities to bring their most innovative solutions to the market . The funded activities will involve basic and applied research , substrate and demonstration device development and production , commercial viability and domestic manufacturing , integrated workforce education and training , and pilot - level substrate production .
