SkyWater to build $1.8bn fab in partnership with State of Indiana and Purdue University

What happened

SkyWater Technology plans to build a $1.8 billion R&D and production fab in Indiana through a public-private partnership with the state and Purdue University, pursuing CHIPS Act funding. The facility aims to bolster domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity, particularly for government and specialty applications. Neutral: This long-term capacity addition is not a direct near-term supply event and targets specialized markets, unlikely to immediately impact broad component pricing.
