It is unclear when the agreements will officially be signed and the incentives unveiled, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the conversations are private. The award amounts are roughly in line with preliminary agreements announced earlier this year, the people said.

TSMC’s package announced in April includes $6.6 billion in grants and as much as $5 billion in loans to support the construction of three semiconductor factories in Phoenix. GlobalFoundries’ agreement from February is for $1.5 billion in grants and as much as $1.6 billion in loans to support a new plant in New York state, as well as expansions of existing facilities there and in Vermont.

TSMC, GlobalFoundries and the Commerce Department declined to comment.
