GF is the Partner of Choice for University Collaborations May 26, 2023 by Gary Dagastine One of GlobalFoundries’ (GF’s) strategic strengths is its robust university network, which is differentiated in the semiconductor industry by the extent and diversity of its academic partnerships. This ecosystem is made up of technical collaborations with leading professors on research and development (R&D) projects, institution-level strategic partnerships with select universities, and a wide range of workforce development programs aimed at preparing and training the semiconductor workforce of tomorrow. The cornerstone of GF’s university ecosystem started several years ago, when the company began a highly successful University Partnership Program (UPP) to cultivate mutually beneficial R&D partnerships with professors who are world experts in technical disciplines relevant to GF’s end markets. GF works with the professors, gives them access to its differentiated technologies, provides engineering support, and lets them and their students tape-out, or produce, their work on GF’s multi-project wafer (MPW) runs. In return, GF receives valuable technical feedback, has learned many different ways in which its platform technologies can be used to create innovative solutions for many applications and has trained hundreds of students on their technologies Participation has grown to more than 70 professors and about 400 students at 60 universities worldwide. It has opened up opportunities for them to speak at some of the world’s most important technical conferences and to publish some 500 peer-reviewed papers. The program is overseen by GF Labs, which leads the company’s R&D efforts. GF’s academic partners are highly enthusiastic about the program. This includes Profs. James Buckwalter and Clint Schow at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), who are longstanding partners of GF. The professors have several ongoing research projects, including work related to boosting the performance of chips with silicon photonics and the heterogenous integrated with mmWave electronics. Thier research teams include a range of UCSB students. “I’ve graduated more than 30 Master’s and Ph.D. students over my career, all of whom have used GF’s technologies, and they take that knowledge with them to their employers,” Buckwalter said. “I think it produces students who are well-equipped to go out there and make a big difference in the industry, and of course, all of them will be familiar with the GF technologies that make it possible,” added Schow. The program has also led to many valuable internship and employment opportunities for students, who gain great familiarity with GF’s technologies in the course of their studies. Sometimes GF’s customers are part of these projects, too, which gives students opportunities they may not otherwise have had. For example, Prof. Frank Ellinger’s research group at Technische Universität Dresden, one of Germany’s leading technical universities located near GF’s German fab, includes Ph.D. students working on 22FDX-based 77 GHz circuits for automotive radar. He said, “We educate diploma, masters, and Ph.D. students at TU Dresden, who are important as a pool of skilled personnel for GlobalFoundries here, as well as for other companies in Silicon Saxony which are GF customers.” GF’s Evolving, Expanding Institutional Relationships At the technology level, the evolution of AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G wireless communications and many other technologies has demonstrated the importance of advanced, differentiated solutions for these fast-growing areas versus traditional transistor scaling. At the industry level, meanwhile, the need for reliable and robust supply chains, and to find and train the technical talent needed in the coming years, have become more critical than ever before. Addressing them has become an urgent priority given the push to expand semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. and in other geographies. Finally, at the societal level, the Covid-19 pandemic has led to great changes in how we live, work and play. This “New Normal” has highlighted the importance of semiconductors to modern life, because chips are the building blocks of the electronic devices we rely on every day. To address these larger issues, different types of collaborations with the academic world are needed. Therefore, building on the success of the original partnership program with professors which continues to strengthen, GF’s Strategic University Partnership model was formed. It is the home for all of GF’s R&D-focused academic and institutional relationships and initiatives, and is part of GF Labs, which drives all of GF’s technology advancement efforts. Building on Success Gregg BartlettGF Chief Technology Officer “The success of our original University Partnership Program has made us the partner of choice for universities, as they vie for the billions of dollars the U.S. government is making available to grow the semiconductor industry in the U.S.,” said Gregg Bartlett, GF’s Chief Technology Officer who oversees GF Labs. “The transition of technologies out of academia and into industry is a well-paved road, and it is our very deliberate intent to continue scaling up and evolving our institutional collaborations in a way that addresses our business goals.” Bartlett serves on the R&D Gaps and Workforce Development Working Groups within the Industrial Advisory Committee for the U.S. Government’s CHIPS and Science Act (the “Chips Act”) as well as the Purdue Semiconductor Degree Program Leadership Board and SRC Governance Council for JUMP2.0. The CHIPS Act will provide $52 billion to boost U.S.-based semiconductor innovation and manufacturing, with $11 billion dedicated to research and development and technology commercialization. “The partnership program has really been the bright North Star over the last several years, helping us navigate the academic R&D landscape,” he said. “By giving us access to the diversity of thought of people who are coming at problems from an academic versus a commercial perspective, synergies are created that aren’t possible otherwise, and many innovations have been born as a result. It has led us to think much more broadly and aggressively about where we want to go with our university engagements, and we have begun to move in that direction.” As an example, Bartlett pointed to the recently announced strategic partnership between GF and Purdue University to strengthen and expand joint R&D projects, as well as to offer new educational opportunities for students. Purdue launched the first large-scale comprehensive semiconductor degrees program in the U.S. last year, and Bartlett is an inaugural member of Purdue’s Semiconductor Degrees Leadership Board, which advises on the program and its curriculum. Additionally, GF recently announced a new partnership with Georgia Tech, to expand collaboration between the two institutions on semiconductor research, education, talent and workforce development. GF is also a member of MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program, and has many other touchpoints with industry-academia partnership programs, consortia, and coalitions. Through partnership, GF is both growing relationships established years ago through its UPP, as well as forging new partnerships with universities and academics across the globe. New Ways of Thinking Bika CarterGF Labs Director for External R&D Bika Carter, GF Labs Director for External R&D, said, “There are many innovative ideas and a lot of creative work going on at universities which can really flex the muscle of our differentiated technology platforms and support our technology roadmap. We are leveraging our experience and existing relationships to think in new ways about how we engage in joint research and other programs, and how we train and recruit talent.” Carter said that GF has begun to evaluate and select additional universities for institute-level, strategic relationships, and is creating multifaceted engagement models around them such as it has with Purdue and Georgia Tech. “In some cases, the nature of these relationships will be driven by regional strengthening; in others, by the R&D expertise a university has developed.” Many of these partnerships will have a workforce development component, she said, and GF is engaging in opportunities to help build the curriculum in such a way that enhances and optimizes the semiconductor talent pipeline.” Bartlett and Carter sit on leadership committees advising and helping to shape what the Purdue curriculum should look like for educating students from the undergraduate level all the way up through the doctoral level, to help prepare them for careers in the industry. “Through this training, students will acquire familiarity and hands-on skills on the very technologies they’re going to be working with when they graduate, and that is good for the students, good for the university, good for GlobalFoundries, and good for the industry as a whole,” Carter said.

Celebrating Earth Week and Progressing on Our Sustainability Goals May 1, 2023 John Compani, Senior Member of the Technical Staff for EHS and CSR, GlobalFoundries Sustainability and resource conservation are longstanding principles of GF’s global operations. We recognize climate change is an unprecedented global challenge, and we are committed to sustainable manufacturing and minimizing our impact on the environment through continual improvement. The theme for Earth Day 2023 is “Invest in Our Planet.” This year, GF celebrates Earth Week in honor of Earth Day (April 22). In the spirit of GF’s Earth Week, I would like to highlight a few of GF’s 2022 resource conservation efforts in the following areas: electricity consumption, water usage, greenhouse gas emissions, hazardous waste and chemical usage. Electricity Consumption Semiconductor manufacturing requires a significant amount of electricity, and energy conservation is a high priority for GF. In 2022, our sustainability and efficiency efforts produced an annual savings of over 30 thousand megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity – enough to power approximately 2,800 U.S. households for a year. Example projects included: Our fab in Dresden, Germany, reconfigured the operating schedule of turbo air compressors for energy optimization. The change required no capital investment and resulted in savings of 800 MWh/yr of electricity. Efficiency improvements implemented for process chilled water flow at GF’s site in Singapore resulted in 2,800 MWh/yr of electricity savings. Water Usage As part of our water conservation efforts in 2022, teams across GF implemented projects with a cumulative annual savings of over 800,000 m³ (209 million gallons) of water – about the water used by more than 1,800 average U.S. households in one year. The savings were driven by extensive water reclamation programs in place at our manufacturing facilities, with 39% of our total water use in 2022 covered by recycled and reused water. Notable initiatives around the globe included: Our Singapore fabs achieved a combined 70 percent recycling rate in 2022 through extensive state-of-the-art water recycling capabilities. A reclamation project at our fab in Malta, New York, resulted in approximately 318,000 m3/yr of water savings by improved sensing and optimized water treatment in industrial reclaim water tanks. Greenhouse Gas Emissions In 2021, GF announced its Journey to Zero Carbon goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25% from 2020 to 2030, even as the company expands its global manufacturing capacity. To meet the goal of reducing absolute greenhouse emissions by 25%, GF is applying a variety of approaches and investments tailored to our global manufacturing footprint. Examples of our progress in 2022 includes: Numerous energy efficiency projects across the company resulted in more than 3,200 metric tons of carbon equivalents of annual emission reductions related to the generation of electricity Our fab in Vermont continued with its multiyear strategic plan to upgrade point of use abatement systems that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in process exhaust streams Our Singapore fabs executed multiple process optimizations, including the retrofit or upgrade of process chamber cleaning methods that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Hazardous Waste & Chemical Usage GF has rigorous chemical review and pollution prevention programs across our manufacturing sites, with a focus on source reduction. Source reduction includes activities and projects that minimize the use of chemicals or the generation waste. These activities typically result in reduced consumption, reduced waste, and reduced cost. For 2022, teams across GF completed a variety of projects for a combined benefit of over 300,000 kg (about 660,000 lbs.) per year of reductions in chemical consumption and waste generation. Examples of GF’s 2022 initiatives included: The chemical mechanical planarization team at our fab in Malta, New York, optimized the use of cleaner recipes for certain equipment, realizing a 52% reduction in the use of this chemistry. This saved over 41,000 liters/yr of chemicals and other consumables. An improvement to auto cleans at our fab in Dresden, Germany, resulted in reduced chemical consumptions of 30,000 kg/yr. GF won awards for solvent use reduction projects that directly reduce hazardous waste generation. Most recently our Vermont fab won the EPA 2022 Environmental Merit Award and our Vermont and Malta, NY fabs won 2022 MVP2 (Most Valuable Pollution Prevention) Awards. The above are some select highlights of our 2022 resource conservation efforts. We will share further details on these and many other sustainability and conservation projects in GF’s forthcoming 2023 Corporate Social Responsibility Report, to be published in June.

GlobalFoundries Files Lawsuit Against IBM to Protect its Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets April 19, 2023 Accuses IBM of unlawful disclosure to Intel, the Japanese consortium Rapidus and others MALTA, N.Y., April 19, 2023 – GlobalFoundries (NASDAQ: GFS) (GF) today sued IBM for trade secret misappropriation. The complaint asserts the former semiconductor manufacturing company has unlawfully disclosed GF’s confidential IP and trade secrets, after IBM sold its microelectronics business to GF in 2015. The technology at issue was collaboratively developed, over decades, by the companies in Albany, New York and the sole and exclusive right to license and disclose that technology was transferred to GF upon the sale. In the legal action filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York, GF asserts that IBM unlawfully disclosed GF IP and trade secrets to IBM partners including Intel and Japan’s Rapidus, a newly formed advanced logic foundry, and by doing so, IBM is unjustly receiving potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in licensing income and other benefits. The complaint notes that IBM’s executives have described the Intel and Rapidus partnerships as based on decades of technology derived from research conducted at the Albany NanoTech Complex, technology that they had no right to disclose. It also raises concerns over the extent to which IBM may have unlawfully disclosed GF’s IP and trade secrets beyond these two heavily publicized partnerships. GF is asking for compensatory and punitive damages as well as an injunction against IBM preventing further unlawful disclosure and use of GF’s trade secrets. In addition, GF’s complaint asserts that IBM is targeting and recruiting GF’s world-class engineering talent at the company’s manufacturing facility, which is located near the Albany NanoTech Complex. In the complaint, GF asks the court to end the unlawful recruitment efforts, which have accelerated since the IBM/Rapidus announcement in December 2022. GF has made significant investment in research and development to advance its feature-rich technology and is one of the world’s leading semiconductor foundries with a global footprint and more than 13,000 employees, 2,500 of whom are based at the company’s headquarters in upstate New York. GF will aggressively defend its investments in technology against those who violate them, as the complaint demonstrates IBM has repeatedly done.
