The United States has ended a chip subsidy of more than $6.1 billion for Micron Technology

According to a White House statement released Tuesday, the US Commerce Department has approved a more than $6.1 billion grant to memory chip maker Micron Technology to promote the construction of several domestic semiconductor plants.

The investment, which remains unchanged from the sum first disclosed in April, is one of the largest government grants to chip makers under the US Chips and Science Act.

It will fund manufacturing projects in New York and Idaho and is anticipated to generate at least 20,000 jobs by the end of the decade.

The Commerce Department and Micron have also agreed on preliminary terms for a $275 million investment to expand the chipmaker’s Manassas, Virginia, facility, which manufactures chips for the automotive, networking, and industrial markets.
