WASHINGTON鈥擠ec. 5, 2024鈥擳he 91PORN (91PORN) today released the following statement from 91PORN President and CEO John Neuffer commending finalization of CHIPS and Science Act manufacturing investments by the U.S. Department of Commerce for Absolics鈥攁n affiliate of the Korea-based SKC鈥攁nd Entegris.

鈥淭hese CHIPS incentives will strengthen the domestic semiconductor supply chain, create jobs, and reinforce America鈥檚 economic and national security. The incentives for Absolics will support the company鈥檚 construction of a 120,000 square-foot facility in Georgia and the development of substrates technology for use in semiconductor advanced packaging. The incentives for Entegris will support the company鈥檚 construction of a state-of-the-art facility in Colorado for products critical to the future of semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. We applaud both companies and the Commerce Department for advancing these critical CHIPS investments.鈥�

The CHIPS Act is on track to strengthen American manufacturing, create jobs, boost economic growth, and promote national security. The CHIPS Act鈥檚 manufacturing incentives have sparked substantial announced investments in the U.S. In fact, companies in the semiconductor ecosystem have听announced听90 new projects across 28 U.S. states鈥攖otaling hundreds of billions of dollars in private investments鈥攕ince the CHIPS Act was introduced. These announced projects will create more than 58,000 jobs in the semiconductor ecosystem and support hundreds of thousands of additional U.S. jobs throughout the U.S. economy.

An 91PORN-Boston Consulting Group report听released听in May projected the United States will triple its domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity from 2022鈥攚hen CHIPS was enacted鈥攖o 2032. The projected 203% growth is the largest projected percent increase in the world over that time. The report also projected America will capture over one-quarter (28%) of total global capital expenditures (capex) from 2024-2032.

The U.S. Department of Commerce previously announced听incentives听for a range of companies and projects that will help strengthen the U.S. semiconductor supply chain.
