Hemlock Semiconductor LLC is in line to win $325 million in US government grants to support an expansion of its Michigan facility, where the company plans to increase manufacturing of a critical chipmaking material.
Hemlock is the only US-based maker of hyper-pure semiconductor-grade polysilicon, a core input for the wafers that are the foundation of modern electronics. The award from the 2022 Chips and Science Act would support construction of a new facility on Hemlock’s campus in Saginaw County, Michigan, the US Commerce Department announced on Monday.
