Congress passed the Chips and Science Act in August 2022, approving $52.7 billion, with $39 billion designated for semiconductor production subsidies and $11 billion for research and development.
Additionally, the law introduces a 25% investment tax credit for building chip plants, estimated at $24 billion.
The NSTC will serve as a hub for research and prototyping of advanced semiconductor technology. US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo emphasized that the center fosters a public-private partnership to encourage innovation and competitiveness, bringing together various stakeholders including government, industry, academia, and venture capitalists.
