HOUSTON, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. government, through CHIPS for America, has announced a groundbreaking funding opportunity aimed at bolstering domestic research and development (R&D) in advanced semiconductor packaging materials and substrates. The initiative, part of the National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program (NAPMP), is set to inject approximately $300 million into innovations spanning semiconductor-based materials to glass and organics. This funding opportunity marks a significant step in the U.S.’s commitment to maintaining and advancing its leadership in the global semiconductor industry.

“This funding opportunity represents a pivotal moment for the U.S. semiconductor industry.

The NAPMP seeks to accelerate domestic R&D, transform innovations into U.S. manufacturing capabilities, and establish a robust, sustainable domestic industry for advanced packaging materials and substrates.
