While many fabs co-funded by the U.S. government under the CHIPS and Science Act are being built or are about to start ramping production of semiconductors, there are some facilities for which construction has not started due to environmental reviews and protests of local residents, with companies "mired in NIMBY fights and two-year permits." Among such projects are Amkor's advanced packaging facility in Arizona, Micron's DRAM fab in New York, and SK hynix's HBM facility in Indiana, reports SemiAnalysis.
