The GlobalFoundries grant is the largest announced as part of the act. Since December, the administration has said it would award 35 million to BAE Systems, a defense contractor that makes a chip used in fighter jets, and 162 million to Microchip Technology, a company that builds memory chips and other widely used "microcontrollers" at fabs in Colorado and Oregon. More awards will be announced in the coming weeks, officials said.
