Highlights from our ongoing analysis
  • The Department of Defense confronts a growing disparity between civilian and military technology, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions and the global consolidation of manufacturing. To bridge this divide and bolster national security, the Department of Defense has allocated an impressive $1.1 billion for dual-use technology, marking a significant increase from the prior year's investment of $531 million. This substantial funding surge aligns with the CHIPS Act, which dedicates $280 billion over a decade to bolster research, semiconductor manufacturing, and chip production, ensuring that federal support keeps pace with the thriving commercial semiconductor sector.
  • The objective of the report is to cover the federal R&D funding landscape of key emerging microelectronics technologies, viz., materials research, chip fabrication, advanced packaging and testing, etc.
  • This report examines R&D investments made by the U.S. federal government on Microelectronics and related technologies through SBIR/STTR, Grants, and Other Transactions Awards during FY2018-FY2022.
  • Some high-level insights include:
    • Over $6B spent on Microelectronics-related R&D by the U.S. federal government signifying a 133% growth during FY2018-FY2022.
    • 72% of Microelectronics-related federal R&D awards were made through grants worth $4.3B during FY18-FY22. During the same time period, $1.2B worth of SBIR/STTR awards were awarded for microelectronics-related R&D awards.
    • Use Cases – Market verticals where technology adoption is highest include Aerospace/Defense, Healthcare, Energy & Power, Automotive, and Consumer Electronics. Examples of high frequency use cases being invested include Military-Grade Logic Devices for Guidance, Navigation, and Control, Lab-on-a-Chip, Healthcare Robotics, Energy Storage and Distribution Optimization, EV Charging Infrastructure, Vehicle Electrification, Smart Wearable Devices, etc.
    • Agencies - DOD and NSF have awarded more than 75% of the R&D awards. Within DOD, the Dept. of Air Force, Army, Navy, and DARPA are the making the most R&D investments. Other prominent civilian agencies include the Department of Energy, HHS, NASA, and Dept. of Commerce which comprises $1.5B worth of microelectronics awards.
    • 2K+ suppliers and research institutions were awarded microelectronics R&D awards during FY18-FY22; Only 22% of awardees were underserved. SBIR/STTR program has utilized the highest proportion of underserved suppliers with 34%, OTAs utilized 20% underserved suppliers whereas grants had the lowest share of underserved suppliers at 14%.
    • Emerging Regional Innovation Clusters – Various innovation clusters are emerging in regions such as Boston-Cambridge-Newton (MA-NH), Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim (CA), Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia (NC-SC), etc. These R&D innovation “hotbeds” have attracted the highest proportion of R&D investments.
