SIA Praises Finalization of CHIPS Incentives to Supplement Texas Instruments’ Semiconductor Investments in Texas and Utah

by Semiconductor Industry Association

WASHINGTON—Dec. 20, 2024—The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today released the following statement from SIA President and CEO John Neuffer applauding finalization of CHIPS and Science Act manufacturing investments announced by the U.S. Department of Commerce and Texas Instruments (TI). The incentives will support three of TI’s new state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing facilities currently under construction in Texas and Utah.

“The critical CHIPS incentives announced today will support Texas Instruments’ semiconductor manufacturing projects in Texas and Utah that will create thousands of jobs and strengthen America’s economy, competitiveness, and supply chain resilience. TI’s projects will boost U.S. production of current-generation and mature-node semiconductors, which are vital to America’s economic strength. We commend the finalization of these incentives and applaud TI for committing to significant domestic investments that will strengthen our industry and our country.” 

The CHIPS Act is on track to strengthen American manufacturing, create jobs, boost economic growth, and promote national security. The CHIPS Act’s manufacturing incentives have sparked substantial announced investments in the U.S. In fact, companies in the semiconductor ecosystem have announced 90 new projects across 28 U.S. states—totaling hundreds of billions of dollars in private investments—since 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 SIA-Boston Consulting Group report released in May projected the United States will triple its domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity from 2022—when CHIPS was enacted—to 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 incentives for a range of companies and projects that will help strengthen the U.S. semiconductor supply chain.
