President's Message on CHIPS Act
President Biden’s signature on the CHIPS Act of
2022 (H.R. 4346) is a significant step towards strengthening
domestic manufacturing of semiconductors, supporting innovation
within the U.S., and fortifying national security interests. Polar
Semiconductor, LLC, Minnesota's largest semiconductor
manufacturer, would like to express congratulations and thanks to
President Biden and the congressional leaders who made this
possible through bipartisan cooperation.
Polar Semiconductor manufactures semiconductors
largely for the automotive industry and is in the fortunate
position of being able to add capacity without breaking ground on
new construction. Polar looks forward to contributing to the
effort to bring new technology and more semiconductor
manufacturing to the U.S.
Funding from the CHIPS Act would allow Polar to
speed up some of its advanced development and capacity expansion
projects. These initiatives will not only reduce the risk of chip
shortages in the automotive supply chain, but also directly result
in talent and workforce enhancement by employing STEM graduates
and promoting labor force diversity.
