About Featured Expert: GlobalFoundries

GlobalFoundries (GF) is a pure-play semiconductor foundry headquartered in Malta, New York, USA. Formed in 2009 to operate foundry services independent of a single device brand, GF provides wafer manufacturing for semiconductor companies across a range of process technologies including specialty, RF, power, and mature logic nodes.

Foundry services translate customer chip designs into manufactured silicon through well-defined process flows, including lithography, etch, deposition, planarization, implant, and test. GF works with fabless semiconductor designers, systems companies, and design partners to qualify process libraries and match design requirements to manufacturable process options.

GlobalFoundries’ manufacturing infrastructure supports ramp from pilot runs to high-volume production, with quality control and statistical process management embedded into fab operations. Services extend beyond pure silicon production to design enablement, process characterization, and production monitoring.

Typical supported applications include RF front-end ICs, automotive control and connectivity chips, industrial control microprocessors, and power management ICs. For more information, please click here.
