WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Doris Matsui (CA-07), co-author of the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) for America Act, issued the following statement after the Department of Commerce finalized an award of $225 million in direct funding for Bosch under the CHIPS and Science Act.
“When I co-authored the original CHIPS Act, days like today are exactly what we had in mind—transformative investments that create lasting economic anchors, reignite domestic manufacturing, and ensure a resilient supply chain,” said Congresswoman Matsui. “Innovation has always been the backbone of America’s economic edge. Bosch is poised to boost domestic production of silicon carbide chips that are essential to electric vehicles, clean mobility, and next-generation energy technologies—helping accelerate the transition to a cleaner, more efficient economy. This $225 million federal investment in the Sacramento region reflects what we’ve been building for years—a place ready to lead now and for decades to come.”
In 2023, Bosch acquired the former Sacramento-area campus of TSI Semiconductors. With more than $2 billion in total investment, Bosch is installing a fabrication line that will produce silicon carbide chips—critical components that power electric vehicles, clean mobility, and next-generation energy technologies. These massive public and private investments reinforce the Sacramento region’s position as a hub for advanced manufacturing and innovation—delivering long-term economic growth, supporting high-quality jobs, and helping ensure the United States remains the global leader in semiconductor technology.
