The technology platforms you need, where you need them

GF is the most advanced accredited semiconductor supplier globally, capable of delivering secure chip manufacturing at scale. With operations in the United States, Europe and Asia, GF provides solutions worldwide, while meeting customer requirements for secure regional supply chains. As an accredited Trusted Foundry and Common Criteria certified supplier, GF employs the most stringent processes, equipment and oversight necessary to manufacture chips with the highest levels of security, ensuring secure and uncompromised delivery for critical end applications.

Trusted and secure

GF plays a pivotal role in global security by manufacturing secure semiconductors that enhance the reliability and effectiveness of microelectronics, and mitigate the risks associated with counterfeit or untrusted microchips. With a proven track record spanning more than two decades, we maintain stringent processes, equipment, and oversight to ensure the secure production of sensitive chips. GF is an Accredited Supplier of the Trusted Foundry Program in the U.S., and our manufacturing facilities in Europe and Asia regions hold Common Criteria accreditation. The U.S. Trusted Foundry Program is the strongest assurance to produce uncompromised chips for aerospace and defense systems, while the Common Criteria certification is an internationally recognized standard for the production of goods that require an extra level of security and integrity in the manufacturing process. These protections are further strengthened by GF’s industry-leading, comprehensive GF Shield security platform.

Strengthening U.S. manufacturing for 
mission-critical defense systems

GlobalFoundries is committed to supporting U.S. aerospace and defense programs through secure, on‑shore semiconductor manufacturing at our ITAR‑compliant, Trusted facility in Malta, New York and Burlington, Vermont. As a long‑standing domestic supplier to the U.S. aerospace and defense ecosystem, both sites provide the security, assured access and resilient supply chain required to support the nation’s most demanding mission profiles. 

Our New York 300mm manufacturing facility continues to expand U.S. production with advanced platforms including 22FDX® and high‑volume 12LP, ensuring performance, energy efficiency and long‑term availability for defense applications ranging from secure communications to sensing and computing at the edge. 

Our Burlington, Vermont 200mm manufacturing facility is a critical hub for GF’s U.S. power and RF capabilities, specializing in GaN (Gallium Nitride) and high‑voltage GaN‑on‑silicon processes. These technologies enable next‑generation power electronics, radar, satellite systems, autonomous platforms and other high‑performance A&D applications requiring superior power density and efficiency. 

Together, our New York and Vermont fabs provide a geographically diverse, secure U.S. manufacturing footprint that enhances national‑security readiness and reduces reliance on foreign supply chains.
