SEMI Applauds Inclusion of Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit in U.S. Build Back Better Reconciliation Bill

MILPITAS, Calif. – October 28, 2021 –  SEMI, the industry association serving the global electronics design and manufacturing supply chain, today applauded the inclusion of an Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit in the Build Back Better reconciliation bill. A minimum credit of 5%, increasing to 25% if certain conditions are met, would be provided for buildings and equipment to manufacture semiconductors and semiconductor tooling equipment if the facility commences construction before January 1, 2027.

“SEMI is thrilled that a semiconductor manufacturing tax credit for the production of chips and semiconductor tools has been included in the Build Back Better reconciliation bill,” said Ajit Manocha, SEMI president and CEO. “This credit will provide a strong incentive for the production of semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment in the United States and make the U.S. more competitive in this vital industry. We thank President Joe Biden, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden for his leadership and determination to include this provision, and the original co-sponsors of the FABS Act.”

“We look forward to working with Congress to pass this bill and fund the CHIPS Act programs, which together will further strengthen the semiconductor supply chain in the United States, help U.S. policies keep pace with incentive proposals around the world, and create thousands of high-skill jobs,” Manocha said. “The inclusion of semiconductor tool manufacturing facilities is particularly important, as lead times and demand for new tools grow. In addition, the delayed requirement to amortize research expenses and the maintenance of the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income deduction are other important elements that will preserve and improve the competitiveness of the industry in the United States.”

The Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit is a modified, temporary version of the Facilitating American-Built Semiconductors (FABS) Act (S.2107). The credit included in the reconciliation bill retains important features of the FABS Act credit, including an election to receive the tax credit as a direct payment, for investments in semiconductor manufacturing facilities and equipment, as well as facilities and equipment to produce semiconductor manufacturing tools.
