Mỹ tài trợ nhà cung cấp chip trị giá 162 triệu USD hỗ trợ các ngành công nghiệp quan trọng

-----

The Biden administration (quản lý, chinh phủ, chính quyền) on Thursday announced plans to provide (cung cấp) $162 million in federal grants (trợ cấp liên bang) to Microchip Technology, an Arizona-based semiconductor (bán dẫn) company that supplies the automotive (ô tô), defense (quốc phòng) and other industries.

The agreement is the second award announced under a new program intended to help ensure that American companies that rely on semiconductors have a stable supply. Last month, the Biden administration announced a $35 million grant for BAE Systems, a defense contractor (nhà thầu).

The investment (đầu tư) will enable (giúp) Microchip to increase its production of semiconductors that are used in cars, airplanes, appliances (thiết bị gia dụng), medical devices (thiết bị y tế) and military products (sản phẩm quân sự). The administration said it expected the award to create more than 700 jobs in construction (xây dựng) and manufacturing (sản xuất).

“Today’s announcement with Microchip is a meaningful step in our efforts to bolster the supply chain for legacy semiconductors that are in everything from cars to washing machines to missiles (tên lửa),” Commerce Secretary (bộ trưởng thương mại) Gina M. Raimondo said in a statement.
