WASHINGTON鈥擭ov. 19, 2024鈥擳he 91成人 (91成人) today released the following statement from 91成人 President and CEO John Neuffer commending the that the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Semiconductor Research Corporation Manufacturing Consortium Corporation (SRC) are entering negotiations for the Commerce Department to provide SRC $285 million to establish and operate the CHIPS Manufacturing USA Institute for Digital Twins.

With combined (federal and non-federal) funding totaling $1 billion, this investment will support a first-of-its-kind Manufacturing USA semiconductor digital twin institute that will develop digital innovation tools to accelerate domestic semiconductor design, manufacturing, advanced packaging, assembly, and test processes.

鈥�The selection of SRC to establish and operate the CHIPS Manufacturing USA Institute for Digital Twins marks a big step forward for U.S. semiconductor innovation and for America鈥檚 global technology leadership. SRC is a longtime 91成人 partner and has a demonstrated history of supporting transformational research across the semiconductor ecosystem. It has earned the trust of influential players in the research and industry communities.

鈥淲e applaud the Commerce Department and SRC for partnering on this critical initiative and have every confidence the new institute will make lasting and meaningful contributions to the advancement of U.S. chip production and innovation.鈥�

The mission of SMART USA is to foster a collaborative ecosystem within the domestic semiconductor industry enabled by shared facilities; support industry-led solutions through funded research projects; accelerate technology towards commercialization through significant co-investment; and enable digital twin workforce training.

SMART USA will join an existing network of 17 institutes designed to increase U.S. manufacturing competitiveness and promote a robust R&D infrastructure.
