Several U.S. semiconductor<\/a> firms are deliberating whether to oppose a package of chip industry subsidies if the final language of the legislation awaiting a vote in the Senate disproportionately benefits manufacturers like Intel Corp<\/a>, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has told lawmakers that a vote could come as early as Tuesday on a slimmed-down set of bills to bolster the U.S. computer chip industry, after Democratic lawmakers cleaved them from a larger, more contentious bill.
The bills are aimed at making the U.S. more competitive against a rising China, whose chip industry has grown rapidly over the last five years to account for almost 10% of global sales.
The measures include $52 billion in subsidies and an investment tax credit to boost U.S. manufacturing. The bills have bipartisan support, though Republicans may vote against the chip measures unless Democrats give up plans to try to push through unrelated spending bills that Republicans oppose.
But a rift is emerging within the chip industry itself, with some players concerned the final language of the legislation could provide disproportionate support to manufacturers like Intel<\/a> while doing little to support other chip makers like Advanced Micro Devices<\/a> Inc, Qualcomm<\/a> Inc and Nvidia<\/a> Corp.
Intel, along with firms like Texas Instruments and Micron Technology Inc, designs and manufacturers its own chips. Such firms would benefit from the $52 billion in CHIPS Act<\/a> subsidies to build factories and also from an investment tax credit to purchase tools for use inside their factories from another measure called the FABS Act<\/a>.
Intel earlier this year said it would spend $20 billion on a factory in Ohio after breaking ground on two new plants in Arizona last year. AMD<\/a>, Qualcomm and Nvidia design their own chips but tap partners to fabricate them and would see no direct benefit from subsidies to build plants or tax support for tools.
They support a separate version of the FABS Act introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives that contains both the manufacturing tax credit and a tax credit for chip design activities that would directly benefit them.
That version of the FABS Act - which is more pleasing to a broader swather of chip industry players - is also the one the Semiconductor Industry Association, which represents U.S. chip firms, has called on lawmakers to pass.
\"We're encouraged that the legislation is progressing, and we continue to support enactment of $52 billion in CHIPS Act investments and a FABS Act investment tax credit for both manufacturing and design,\" the association said in a statement on Friday.
The current Senate legislation contains no design tax credit. That has prompted some U.S. chip companies, which asked not to be named for fear of industry and government blowback, to debate opposing the Senate bill if the final language that comes to the floor has no tax credit for design activities, two people familiar with matter said. \"You have Intel that might get $20 billion with CHIPS Act plus $5 billion or $10 billion under the FABS Act. So $30 billion goes to your direct competitor, and you don't get a penny? That's going to cause problems in the market,\" said one person at a company debating opposition to the bill, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to talk to the press.
\"It's going to benefit just a few companies,\" said a person at a second company deliberating its support for a bill with no design credits who was not authorized to speak to the press.
Nvidia declined to comment. Spokespeople for AMD, Qualcomm and Intel did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

一些美国半导体公司正在考虑是否反对一揽子芯片行业补贴如果等待的最后语言立法在参议院投票不成比例的好处制造商英特尔(intc . o:行情)知情人士告诉路透。
参议院多数党领袖查克•舒默已经告诉国会议员投票最早可能在周二一套精简的账单来支持美国计算机芯片产业,民主党议员裂解后从一个更大、更有争议的法案。
法案的目的是使美国更具竞争力对一个崛起的中国,其芯片行业快速增长在过去五年中几乎占全球销售额的10%。
这些措施包括520亿美元的补贴和投资税收抵免来促进美国制造业。账单有两党支持,虽然共和党人投票反对该芯片的措施,除非民主党放弃计划,试图推动无关的支出法案,共和党人反对。
但裂痕出现在芯片行业本身,与有关一些球员的最后语言立法可以为制造商提供不成比例的支持英特尔虽然没有支持其他芯片制造商高级微设备公司,高通公司和英伟达集团。
英特尔公司和德州仪器公司等公司,美光科技公司,设计和制造商自己的芯片。这些公司将从520亿美元中获益芯片的行为补贴建造工厂和也从投资税收抵免购买工具使用在他们的工厂从另一个衡量晶圆厂的行为。
今年早些时候,英特尔表示,它将花费200亿美元在动工后在俄亥俄州的一个工厂,在亚利桑那州去年两个新工厂。AMD、高通和英伟达设计他们自己的芯片,但利用合作伙伴制造它们,会看到没有直接受益于补贴建立植物或税收支持工具。
他们支持一个独立版本的晶圆厂引进美国众议院,同时包含生产税收抵免和退税芯片设计活动将直接受益。
版本的晶圆厂行为——这更令人愉悦的一个更广泛的割谷机芯片行业的球员,也是半导体行业协会代表美国芯片公司呼吁国会通过。
“我们鼓励的立法进展,我们继续支持制定投资和一个520亿美元的芯片晶圆厂制造和设计投资税收抵免,”该协会周五在一份声明中说。
当前参议院立法不包含设计税收抵免。促使一些美国芯片公司,要求不透露姓名的工业和政府反吹,因为害怕辩论反对参议院的法案如果最后的语言,地板没有设计活动的税收抵免,两位知情人士说。“你有英特尔与芯片的行为可能会得到200亿美元加上50亿美元或100亿美元的晶圆厂。所以300亿美元去你的直接竞争对手,你不会得到一分钱?市场会造成问题,”一个人说一个公司讨论反对该法案,不愿透露姓名的,因为未被授权的人对媒体讲话。
“这将几个公司受益,”一个人说另一个公司考虑其支持比尔没有设计学分未被授权向媒体发言。
英伟达拒绝置评。发言人AMD,高通公司和英特尔没有立即回复记者的置评请求。
