In 2022 President Biden signed the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 into law. This law provides the Department of Commerce with $50 billion for a suite of programs. These programs are to strengthen and revitalize the U.S. position in chip manufacturing, semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing.
