Aiming to bolster domestic semiconductor production, the United States has invested a $7.86 billion subsidy grant to Intel Corporation.ย 

This funding, announced by the Department of Commerce, will support Intelโ€™s manufacturing projects in Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, and Oregon, to revitalise the American semiconductor industry under the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.

The CHIPS Act, a signature initiative of President Joe Bidenโ€™s administration, allocates $52.7 billion to strengthen the domestic chipmaking sector. Of this, $39 billion is earmarked for semiconductor production and $11 billion for research and development.ย 

Intelโ€™s subsidy is the largest awarded to date under the programme, as the government seeks to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains and address vulnerabilities exposed during the pandemic.

Intel, which has already achieved several project milestones, is expected to receive at least $1 billion of the subsidy by the end of 2024.ย 

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo spoke on the impact of this investment, stating that it ensures โ€œAmerican-designed chips are manufactured and packaged by American workers for the first time in years.โ€

Scaling Domestic Capacity Amid Challenges

Intelโ€™s funding will help in boosting the U.S. semiconductor space. The company has committed to an expansive $100 billion domestic manufacturing initiative across four states, which includes constructing new facilities and upgrading existing ones.ย 

However, the grant amount was revised from an earlier projection of $8.5 billion, following Intelโ€™s separate $3 billion contract with the Department of Defense for producing advanced semiconductors under a national security programme.ย 

This adjustment was made without compromising the companyโ€™s vision or its projectsโ€™ timelines.

Nevertheless, the chipmaker had declining profit margins and workforce reductions have followed years of aggressive investments led by CEO Pat Gelsinger.ย 

But Gelsinger noted the importance of bipartisan support for restoring U.S. technology leadership, calling it โ€œcritical to the nationโ€™s economic growth and security.โ€

Intelโ€™s evolving business strategy includes transitioning to a โ€œfoundryโ€ model, where it produces chips designed by external firms. This change has necessitated significant capacity-building, with major investments in new fabrication plants, particularly in Ohio and Arizona.ย 

Yet, global market challenges have delayed some projects, including those in Germany and Poland, reflecting the complex dynamics of the semiconductor industry.

Safeguards and Incentives

The Commerce Department has introduced measures to ensure accountability and protect taxpayer funds. Intelโ€™s award includes restrictions on stock buybacks for five years and provisions for sharing excess profits.ย 

Again, the company opted against an $11 billion government loan initially offered, pointing to unfavourable terms for its shareholders.

Beyond direct subsidies, Intel stands to benefit from a 25% investment tax credit on qualified expenditures exceeding $100 billion. These incentives, coupled with strategic partnerships, such as its agreement with Tower Semiconductor, allow the company to strengthen its domestic and global footprint.

The U.S. government has prioritised semiconductor production as a cornerstone of its industrial and economic strategy. The CHIPS Act is part of a goal to reshore manufacturing, create high-paying jobs, and enhance national security.ย 

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Natalie Quillian described the Intel subsidy as an essential step in implementing this vision, reiterating its role in delivering tangible benefits to the American people.
