Bosch has secured a $225 million federal grant under the U.S. CHIPS Act to support the conversion of its Roseville, California site into a silicon carbide semiconductor plant, in a project that could total up to $2 billion. The German industrial group said the funding is tied to a definitive agreement with the Trump administration and will help accelerate the site’s transformation into a domestic manufacturing base for advanced chips.
The Roseville facility is set to become a key production site for silicon carbide semiconductors, a material increasingly used in electric vehicles, power electronics and other high-efficiency applications. Bosch said commercial production is expected to begin in 2026, marking a significant step in its push into the U.S. semiconductor market.
As the world’s largest automotive supplier, Bosch is positioning the investment as part of a broader strategy to strengthen supply chains and expand its footprint in advanced chip manufacturing. The CHIPS Act support reduces some of the financial burden of the conversion while underscoring Washington’s effort to attract strategic semiconductor production back to the United States.
