U.S. Government Accredits GlobalFoundries to Manufacture Trusted Semiconductors at New York Facility
30 Mayo 2023 - 7:35AM
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), through the Defense
Microelectronics Activity (DMEA), Trusted Access Program Office
(TAPO), has accredited GlobalFoundries’ (Nasdaq: GFS) (GF) advanced
manufacturing facility in Malta, New York, as a Category 1A Trusted
Supplier with the ability to manufacture secure semiconductors for
a range of critical aerospace and defense applications.
The latest milestone in the longstanding partnership between the
DoD and GF, the accreditation was enabled by GF’s ability to meet
DoD requirements for having stringent security processes,
equipment, and oversight in place to accept and protect sensitive
information and manufacture Trusted chips in a way that ensures
they are secure and uncompromised. These securely manufactured
chips include those manufactured on GF’s most advanced 12nm FinFET
technologies, and will be used in DoD systems on land, air, sea,
and in space.
“The secure manufacturing of semiconductors is critical to
safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and reliability of the
technology that powers our modern world, and nowhere is this more
important than aerospace, defense, and critical infrastructure
systems,” said Dr. Thomas Caulfield, president and CEO of GF. “We
are proud to deepen our relationship with the Defense Department,
and to receive DMEA accreditation at our New York manufacturing
facility. GF’s differentiated chip technologies provide optimized
performance for critical DoD systems, and we are uniquely
positioned by our ability to provide secure semiconductor
manufacturing at scale.”
Dr. Nicholas Martin, DMEA Director, said: “This accreditation at
the Malta site will enable the Department to have access to the
most advanced ASIC technology node available from a DMEA accredited
Trusted Supplier. Accrediting GlobalFoundries to manufacture our
country’s sensitive chips strengthens the domestic microelectronics
industrial base and our nation’s efforts to fortify its
semiconductor supply chain for national and economic security.
Trusted Supplier accreditation continues to be a benchmark in
semiconductor assurance and will ensure the DoD has reliable access
to a range of securely manufactured chips it needs for its defense
systems and is the latest collaboration in the longstanding
partnership between the DoD and GF to provide silicon-based
semiconductors for defense and aerospace applications.”
In 2022, the DoD, through the Manufacturing Capability Expansion
and Investment Prioritization (MCEIP) Directorate, entered a $117
million agreement with GF to provide a strategic supply of
U.S.-made semiconductors built in Malta, New York, on GF’s
differentiated 45nm SOI platform. This accreditation adds to GF’s
New York Facility’s compliance with U.S. International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (ITAR) and highly restrictive Export Control
Classification Numbers under the Export Administration Regulations
(EAR). GF employs approximately 2,500 people in Malta, New York,
and has invested more than $15 billion in the facility. GF also
manufactures Trusted semiconductor chips for the DoD at its
facility in Vermont.
