On the one year anniversary of the CHIPS and Science Act being enacted into law, Intel provided an update on the new manufacturing facilities and programs.
Some highlights
- Intel is doubling down on research and development (R&D) that will fuel new, leading-edge chip manufacturing facilities
- Intel is investing in much-needed workforce development programs to ensure American workers have the necessary skills and talent to out-innovate the competition and meet the long-term demand for leading-edge semiconductors.
- Intel is executing on or ahead of schedule to deliver five process nodes in four years and return process technology leadership to the U.S. by 2025.
- As a member of the CHIPS Industrial Advisory Committee (IAC), Intel is working to make the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) and National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program (NAPMP) successful ventures.
- In 2021, Intel announced more than $43.5 billion in new manufacturing investments across Arizona, New Mexico and Ohio.
- Intel is expanding in Arizona from two to four leading-edge semiconductor factories that are estimated to cost $15 billion to $20 billion each.
- In New Mexico, Intel is investing at least $3.5 billion on equipment upgrades for advanced semiconductor packaging operations. W
- Intel’s greenfield investment in two new leading-edge fabs in Ohio marks the single largest private-sector investment in the state’s history. This “Silicon Heartland” will establish a new regional economic cluster for U.S. chipmaking and become an epicenter of leading-edge technology.
- In Oregon, Intel proposed a multibillion-dollar expansion and modernization of our facilities that will put the company on a path to regain process technology leadership and continue to advance Moore’s Law.
- Intel announced a $100 million investment last year to expand semiconductor education, research and workforce training opportunities across the nation. This includes a $50 million match for a total $100 million partnership with the National Science Foundation to expand opportunities in the United States. It also includes a $50 million investment to fund the Intel Semiconductor Education and Research Program (SERP) for Ohio – a collaborative, multi-institution program designed to directly support our new operations in Ohio.
