This is a historic moment of growth for the semiconductor industry. Chips are essential to everything from smartphones and vehicles to AI data centers – nearly anything with an on/off switch. But with this opportunity comes a challenge: building a sustainable talent pipeline of engineers, technicians and countless other roles that will support the industry’s…
GlobalFoundries Executive Chairman Tom Caulfield recently joined CNBC Money Movers for an exclusive interview and talked about how economic tools can help create demand for U.S. made chips and bring home more manufacturing capacity. “If you believe — and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t — that for national security, supply chain, and economic security,…
Chiplets are individual semiconductor dies, each responsible for a distinct system’s function. These dies are integrated using advanced packaging to create a complete, high-performance system. This heterogeneous integration of different process technologies includes FinFet for logic, FD-SOI for RF, BCD for power management and FD-SOI or CMOS for analog mixed signal to form a System-in-Package.…
As urban populations grow and infrastructure demands intensify, cities around the world are turning to the Internet of Things (IoT) to become smarter, more sustainable and more responsive to our residential needs. IoT technologies enable real-time data collection and analysis, allowing city systems to operate more efficiently and adaptively. What defines a smart city in…
Global data consumption is rising, in part due to the adoption of generative AI. The latest Ericsson Mobility report projects that worldwide mobile data traffic will grow by 2.3 times and reach 280 ExaBytes (1018 bytes) per month by 2030. To accommodate this growth, mobile operators, phone manufacturers, and standardization bodies must focus on expanding…
Global mobile network data traffic continues to rise, driven by 5G expansion and high-demand applications like video streaming, gaming, and IoT connectivity. The latest Ericsson Mobility Report indicates mobile network data traffic rose 19% from the first quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025, and with Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) traffic included, it…
As the automotive industry accelerates toward a future defined by digital experiences and intelligent mobility, the role of semiconductor innovation has never been more critical. At the recent SID Business Conference, Yuichi Motohashi, Global Segment Lead for Automotive Display, Camera, LiDAR & SerDes at GlobalFoundries (GF), shared a compelling vision for how purpose-built semiconductor technologies…
Bridging the gap between academia and industry in semiconductor innovation Behind every technological breakthrough is cutting-edge research and development happening on the grounds of universities and research institutions. Semiconductors are no exception as the relentless demand to optimize performance, maximize power efficiency and reduce costs requires constant innovation at the intersection of science and engineering.…
We often hear modern vehicles described as “smartphones on wheels.” But perhaps a better analogy is a human. Just as we use our senses to understand and react to the world – to see, to hear, to touch, to feel – today’s vehicles depend on an array of sensors to navigate the world around them.…
Today, seamless connectivity is a necessity. We are moving to smarter homes and more connected devices, causing the demand for reliable and efficient Wi-Fi solutions to grow exponentially. In fact, according to Parks Associates’ Smart Home Dashboard, since last year, 18% of U.S. homes alone have six or more smart devices in them. At GlobalFoundries,…
