Recent Business Highlights
In August, GF announced the production release of its Complementary Bi-CMOS (CBIC) platform, the company’s high-performance silicon germanium (SiGe) technology capable of serving several key markets including smartphones, wireless infrastructure, optical networking, satellite communications and industrial IoT. A major milestone in GF's SiGe roadmap, CBIC combines industry-leading transistor performance with a low-mask count process, and sets a new benchmark for markets that need high-speed, energy-efficient connectivity.
In October, Silicon Labs and GlobalFoundries announced an expanded partnership for GF to manufacture wireless system-on-chips (SoCs) on its new 40nm Ultra Low Power platform out of its fab in Malta, New York. Building upon its existing manufacturing capabilities in Singapore and Germany, this strategic partnership will drive innovation and reinforce important semiconductor supply in the U.S.
Supported by incentives from the German federal government and the State of Saxony under the framework of the European Chips Act, GF announced in October plans to increase production capacity in its fab in Dresden to more than one million wafers a year by the end of 2028, making it the largest site of its kind in Europe. Driven by the needs of key customers such as NXP, Infineon, Aumovio and Bosch, GF will better serve customers in this critical geography.
