This proposed funding would provide federal incentives to enhance production capabilities at SkyWater’s Minnesota facility.\nThis funding through the CHIPS Act will accelerate modernization and equipment upgrades to enhance production for customers in the aerospace and defense as well as biomedical, industrial, thermal imaging and quantum computing markets. As a Department of Defense (DOD) DMEA Category 1A Trusted Supplier, SkyWater is a key semiconductor supplier to the U.S. government and is committed to providing the lab-to-fab capabilities needed to support the nation’s defense programs.\nThe proposed $16 million CHIPS Program award will be combined with $19 million in incentives from the State of Minnesota’s Forward Fund. The newly announced state and federal incentives will complement SkyWater’s existing and planned customer-funded CapEx co-investments totaling $320 million through 2026, bringing the expected combined outside investment levels now to over $350 million during this decade. SkyWater will also utilize the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit which is expected to be up to 25% of qualified capital expenditures.\nThrough the proposed CHIPS funding, SkyWater expects to:\n\nIncrease its U.S.-based 200 mm semiconductor technology development and production capacity by 30%\nCreate approximately 70 new jobs to support the workforce in Bloomington, Minnesota\nModernize its facility to meet the escalating demand for domestically produced microelectronics\nEnsure a consistent supply of trusted silicon for critical DOD and commercial programs\nAccelerate technology development and time to market for customers.\n\nFrom the outset of the government plan to create a program to support the semiconductor industry, SkyWater was working to bolster the nation’s supply of chips. Today, the company is immersed in many facets of the CHIPS program, including lending expertise in substrates and process engineering for advanced packaging, underwriting workforce initiatives at the federal and local level, and participating as a core partner in the DOD’s Microelectronics Commons network to support warfighter applications.\n\"We are pleased to receive this important CHIPS funding, including the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit to expand our nation’s onshore capacity. We’ve been the beneficiary of significant government program awards over the past several years, and we’re proud of our role in helping to expand the domestic microelectronics infrastructure and strengthen the U.S. supply chain,\" said SkyWater CEO, Thomas Sonderman. \"As America’s Trusted Foundry, through our business model and expanding capabilities, we are creating a national asset for technology development, which is in a critical state domestically. We have been working to meet the specific needs of the Defense Industrial Base and commercial companies, developing the technologies of the future. The investments today are another milestone along this path.\"\n\"The Biden-Harris Administration’s bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act is making targeted investments to meet market demands for technology critical to our national and economic security,\" said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. \"Today’s proposed investments across Texas and Minnesota would help bolster domestic chip production and help secure our supply chain for decades to come.\"\n\"If we want to continue leading the global economy, we must be a country that makes stuff, invents things, and exports to the world. This significant investment in SkyWater Technology will transform domestic semiconductor manufacturing,\" said U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN). \"I’m proud to have worked with SkyWater Technology to secure the resources needed to ensure Minnesota remains at the forefront of technological innovation. This is good for our state’s workers and businesses.\"\nAbout SkyWater Technology\nSkyWater (NASDAQ: SKYT) is a U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturer and a DMEA-accredited Category 1A Trusted Supplier.
