President Joe Biden signed the CHIPS and Science Act on Tuesday, writing into law the $280 billion package that includes $52 billion in funding to boost U.S. domestic semiconductor manufacturing.

“The future is going to be made in America,” Biden said at the White House signing, calling the law “a once-in-a-generation investment in America itself”.

The CHIPS and Science Act, is short for Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America Act.

The CHIPS and Science Act will boost American semiconductor research, development and production, ensuring U.S. leadership in the technology that forms the foundation of everything from automobiles to household appliances to defense systems, according to the White House.
