GlobalFoundries is a semiconductor manufacturer producing differentiated, feature-rich essential chips using FD-SOI, silicon photonics, RF SOI and automotive-grade process technology for global markets.
GlobalFoundries is one of the world's leading semiconductor manufacturers, producing differentiated, feature-rich essential chips for high-growth markets. Founded in 2009 through a strategic partnership between AMD and the Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC), the company was built on a bold ambition: to become the world's first truly global semiconductor foundry. Today it employs approximately 13,000 people across 14 locations worldwide, with a manufacturing footprint spanning the United States, Europe and Asia, and serves more than 200 global customers.
The company's technical distinction lies in a deliberate strategy of differentiation rather than competing at the leading edge of every technology node. Its platforms include FDX FD-SOI, a specialised FD-SOI process technology that helps customers bring innovative products to market faster; Silicon Photonics; RF SOI; and automotive-grade semiconductor process technology and solutions. These specialised, differentiated process technologies serve demanding verticals including automotive, smart mobile devices, the Internet of Things, communications infrastructure, and aerospace and defence.
GlobalFoundries operates on a partner-oriented premise: customers need more than manufacturing capacity, they need a partner delivering differentiated process technology wherever innovation happens. The work is oriented toward essential, impactful technology - chips that make vehicles safer, mobile devices smarter, and the world more connected - and is carried out with a global mindset by engineers and technologists working across its international manufacturing network.
