The CHIPS and Science Act, enacted in 2022 under President Biden, is a $52 billion strategy to strengthen U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and reduce reliance specifically on Asian suppliers. However, the enactment of the law has already driven nearly $450 billion in private investment by leading semiconductor companies, including Intel, GlobalFoundries, Micron, Samsung, SK hynix, Texas Instruments, and TSMC, just to name a few.
