A presidential election means change. And change is good, unless it isn’t.
By any reasonable metric, one signature piece of bipartisan post-pandemic legislation, the CHIPS and Science Act, has been successful in delivering the kind of incentives that is driving private investment in one of the most essential building blocks for the coming age of AI.
So, what’s the problem? For one thing, the president-elect, apparently, isn’t a fan of the program. In an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan barely a week before the election, Donald Trump said as much:
“That chip deal is so bad, we put up billions of dollars for rich companies to come in and borrow the money and build chip companies here. And they’re not going to give us the good companies anyway. All you had to do is charge them tariffs. If you were to put a tariff on the chips coming in, you would have been able to. Just like the auto companies. No different. More sophisticated, but no different.“
You can see why some might be worried.
Along with the migrant manufacturers from Europe and Asia who already hold vast investments in the U.S. — the Samsungs, Infinons, Soulbrains and NXPs — there are the U.S. brands, along with their investors and lenders — Intel, Micron, Texas Instruments, Western Digital, etc. — who are already investing billions to develop the same kind of independence in chip manufacturing that the nation now enjoys in the energy sector. And like the energy sector, Texas is heavily involved.
The Texas connections began almost immediately after the CHIPS Act was signed in August 2022. One of the first deals announced was a novel joint venture between Intel and Brookfield Infrastructure Fund to spend $32 billion to build chip manufacturing facilities in Arizona. Houston partners Andrew Calder and Doug Bacon along with a small army of lawyers at Kirkland & Ellis advised Brookfield on the deal. But that was just a beginning.
Since then, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association, at least $448 billion has already been pledged from private sources to build, expand or modernize 90 factories (fabs) in the U.S. that will, or already do, manufacture semiconductor chips or the materials to make them.
In Texas, Samsung is spending $45 billion on two new fabs, an R&D facility and an advanced packaging facility in Williamson County, along with an expansion of their chip-making presence in Austin. NXP plans a $2.6 billion semiconductor plant in Austin and Netherlands chip-maker Infineon is planning their own fab there.
Elsewhere, Dallas-based Texas Instruments is investing $30 billion on four new fabs in Sherman (not to mention $6 billion to expand their Richardson facility). Also in Sherman, Taiwan’s GlobalWafers has committed $5 billion to produce silicon wafers used in the manufacture of semiconductor chips.
In all, at least $89 billion is already being spent on 10 semiconductor-related facilities in Texas. And even outside Texas — in Lehi, Utah — Texas Instruments plans to spend yet another $11 billion on yet another fab.
But none of this quantifies the many more billions to be spent on the downstream benefits of all that investment — the vast infrastructure to support the needs of an increasingly digitized society: the computer parts manufacturers, the advanced software designers, the data storage facilities and data processing centers — not to mention the limitless energy needed for all of the above.
But maybe, just maybe, the angst is all for naught. The CHIPS Act has its fans, even at the conservative Heritage Foundation. In its Mandate for Leadership — also known as “Project 2025” — there resides the suggestion that the importance of these projects will not be rejected out of hand.
On page 59, which includes its review of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the report notes:
“Recent legislation, especially the CHIPS and Science Act, has expanded federal policy and funding across the enterprise, and there is a need for more significant leadership in this area both to ensure effectiveness and to avoid duplication of effort.“
More to the point, on page 790, under a bulleted list of 22 policies they recommend, Heritage suggests the new administration should “strongly consider” a policy that would:
“Systematically reduce and eventually eliminate any U.S. dependence on Communist Chinese supply chains that may be used to threaten national security such as medicines, silicon chips, rare earth minerals, computer motherboards, flatscreen displays, and military components.“
The sounds exactly like something the CHIPS Act was designed to address.
There was lots of action during election week with 14 deals reported for total reported aggregate value of $2.1 billion dollars. That pales, of course, against last week’s 12 deals for $52.7 billion or even the 15 transactions for $9.8 billion reported this time last year.
In case you’re wondering, it’s actually better than our report after the election week of 2020. During that pandemic-burdened presidential election week we saw 14 transactions for a reported $864.1 million. For the record, the CDT Roundup reads absolutely nothing into that.
