I-Pulse has received a substantial $250 million award from the US government as part of the CHIPS Act initiative. This funding is aimed at bolstering the production of advanced semiconductor materials in the country.
The focus of this funding will be on silicon-carbide semiconductor technology, which is crucial for various high-performance applications.
This award highlights the increasing importance of semiconductor manufacturing in the US and the role of private backing, such as that from BHP, in supporting these initiatives.
