CHIPS and Science Act R&D Brief Submitted

Fluxive Inc. has submitted a research and development brief to the CHIPS for America program, proposing a $30M, 5-year plan to bring the governance-native MPU from FPGA prototype to production silicon at GlobalFoundries Fab 8.

The CHIPS Act brief outlines a four-phase program: Phase A ($3M) delivers the CEU Fuse — a standalone hardware AI containment gate on GF 130nm; Phase B ($8.5M) implements a 4-tile governed MPU on FPGA; Phase C ($13M) tapes out the first governance-native CPU on GF 22FDX; Phase D ($5.5M) characterizes cross-platform interaction profiles. The proposal emphasizes zero foreign dependencies — design in Saratoga Springs, fabrication at GF Fab 8 in Malta (15 minutes away), packaging and test co-located. The program would create 25–36 engineering jobs in Upstate New York across RTL design, verification, physical design, and test engineering.
