Historic \u201cCHIPS Act\u201d funding will supercharge chips manufacturing<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covington, Ga. <\/strong>\u2014 U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff today announced a historic Federal investment in Georgia semiconductor manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ossoff announced that Absolics, a subsidiary of SKC, will receive up to $75 million in Federal funding through the bipartisan\u00a0CHIPS Act<\/em>\u00a0to strengthen domestic semiconductor production in Georgia, supporting the construction of a 120,000 square foot facility in Covington and\u00a0creating manufacturing, R&D, and construction jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Federal funding will strengthen U.S. national security and help make Georgia a national leader in semiconductor manufacturing. Absolics manufactures glass substrate, an important component for next-generation semiconductor manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a great day for Georgia’s economic development. When we set out to pass the bipartisan Chips Act<\/em> through Congress, it was with this exact goal in mind. This historic Federal investment will create Georgia jobs, support U.S. national security, and bring more advanced manufacturing to our state,\u201d Sen. Ossoff said.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, Sen. Ossoff joined Absolics\u2019 leadership<\/a> to break ground on their facility in Covington, Georgia, which created 400 highly skilled jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the support of this proposed CHIPS funding, Absolics will be able to fully commercialize our pioneering glass substrate technology for use in high-performance computing and cutting-edge defense applications. This effort is crucial in establishing a robust semiconductor advanced packaging ecosystem in the State of Georgia and restoring the U.S.\u2019s leadership in semiconductor industry. Our new facility in Covington will not only enhance our ability to produce high-quality glass substrates but also create high-skilled jobs and drive innovation through our partnership with Georgia Tech,\u201d said Absolics CEO Jun Rok Oh. <\/strong>\u201cAbsolics is proud to contribute to the resilience and competitiveness of the American semiconductor industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn important part of the success of President Biden\u2019s CHIPS program is ensuring the United States is a global leader in every part of the semiconductor supply chain, and the advanced semiconductor packaging technologies Absolics is working on will help to achieve that goal, while also creating hundreds of jobs in Georgia,\u201d said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.<\/strong> \u201cThrough this proposed investment in Absolics, the Biden-Harris Administration is helping accelerate innovation, advance U.S. technological leadership in semiconductor manufacturing, and generate economic opportunity in the Atlanta area and throughout the state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
