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,…

Healthcare is no longer confined to doctor’s offices or hospitals – its boundaries are being pushed to what can be done in the comfort of your own home through technology. In fact, as healthcare and technology become increasingly inseparable, it’s advancing patient care and transforming how we think of it. From continuous glucose monitors (CGM)…
The world is becoming increasingly connected, driven by the exponential growth of data and the rise of transformative technologies like AI. This connectivity revolution is placing unprecedented demands on RF technologies, from the need for seamless cloud-edge data links to the continued evolution of 5G, 6G and beyond. GF’s comprehensive RF portfolio, including our industry-leading…
Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) have taken center stage as part of the automotive industry’s digital revolution. Think of SDVs as smartphones on wheels. And at the center of it all – but not so visible – are microcontroller units (MCUs) — the “digital brains” of today’s cars. These tiny but powerful chips, ranging from the size…
Providing broadband and cellular connectivity from space has become feasible due to advancements in rocket engineering, satellite technology, and RF semiconductors. Through these advancements and innovations, we are now able to build sufficient satellite constellations and offer affordable ground terminals to support seamless global communications networks with reliable connectivity. When designing a SATCOM ground terminal,…
