## Summary

**This bill would expand and extend the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit to include semiconductor manufacturing.** It also sets a detailed taxonomy for qualifying semiconductor materials and creates an annual listing process plus a petition route for adding items. - Semiconductor manufacturers and equipment makers would become explicitly eligible for the credit when a facility’s primary purpose is producing semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, or semiconductor materials. - Suppliers of semiconductor inputs would get clearer rules. The bill defines "direct" materials (for example silicon substrates, thin‑film materials, bonding and interconnect materials) and "indirect" materials (for example photoresists, etchants, cleaning agents, test sockets, and packaging compounds). - Investors and builders would see the credit period extended from December 31, 2026 to December 31, 2031 for qualifying projects, and the changes apply to property placed in service after enactment and to projects whose construction begins after December 31, 2026. - The Treasury Secretary, working with the Commerce Secretary, must publish an initial list within 180 days and update it annually, and taxpayers may petition the Secretary to determine whether a material qualifies.
