The US Commerce Department has awarded over $6 billion in funding to Samsung and Texas Instruments under the CHIPS Incentives Program. Samsung will receive $4.745 billion for its planned $37 billion investment in Texas chip facilities, while Texas Instruments will get $1.61 billion to support its $18 billion spending on new wafer fabs.
The US Commerce Department has awarded Samsung and Texas Instruments with a combined over $6 billion in direct funding under the CHIPS Incentives Program’s Funding Opportunity for Commercial Fabrication, according to a pair of announcements published on Friday. Samsung will get the larger of the two awards at $4.745 billion.
The Commerce Department says the company will use this as part of its planned $37 billion investment in Texas chip facilities that include two new leading-edge logic fabs and an R&D fab in Taylor, Texas, and the expansion of its plant in Austin. The company was originally slated to receive $6.4 billion. In a statement reported by Bloomberg, the company said that its mid-to-long-term investment plan has been partially revised to optimize overall investment efficiency, which suggests the company has dialed back its plans, according to the outlet. Texas Instruments will receive $1.61 billion to bolster the $18 billion it plans to spend on projects like constructing two wafer fabs in Texas and a third in Utah. The Commerce Department announced smaller awards this week too, including $407 million in funding for Amkor Technology, a US-based company that tests and packages chips for companies like Apple. All three awards were announced earlier this year, with Samsung first in April, and they join other CHIPS Act funding grants given to companies like Micron, Intel, and TSMC. And their finalizations come with just under a month to go before Donald Trump, who has criticized the CHIPS Act, assumes the US Presidency on January 20th
