Semiconductor Industry Association — CHIPS Act R&D Allocation: $11B

NoteThe claim states '$11B allocated for R&D' with an exact stored value of 11,000,000,000 (11 billion). The source explicitly confirms this figure: '$11 billion would go toward advanced semiconductor research and development.' The claim's additional context mentions '$3.5B for defense secure enclave' — the source separately mentions '$2 billion to the Department of Defense to fund microelectronics research, fabrication, and workforce training' plus '$500 million to the Department of State,' which totals $2.5B for defense/state purposes (not exactly $3.5B), but the primary R&D allocation of $11B is directly confirmed. The date 'as of 2022-08' aligns with the act being signed into law on August 9, 2022. The $11B figure is confirmed.
