How an $85M federal award would help CFS, fusion energy, and U.S. chip industry blog.cfs.energy

Commonwealth Fusion Systems says it has signed a letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for a proposed $85 million award under the CHIPS and Science Act. The funding would support five areas of U.S. microelectronics development—including silicon-carbide power electronics, solid-state radio-frequency generators, AI controls and radiation-hardened components—for CFS’s SPARC and planned ARC fusion machines, with potential uses in other industries.
