This slideshow has been updated to reflect the latest news, and we will likely continue updating this story in the future as companies announce major investments.
Both before and after the August 2022 passage of the CHIPs Act providing federal support, the U.S. has seen a spree of announcements by tech companies promising to build up domestic chip production. The acute chip shortage suffered during the Covid-19 pandemic and the chronic shortages caused by ensuing supply chain issues has given rise to a newly burgeoning landscape in semiconductor, computer electronics, and related supply factory announcements.
This slideshow aims to provide a birds-eye view of all the newest announcements with implications for the future of computer electronics manufacturing in the United States, in addition to a closer look at the most recent semiconductor news.
