GlobalFoundries to produce TSMC silicon interposers in US for $2B

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

GlobalFoundries and TSMC have signed a five-year, $2 billion agreement for GlobalFoundries to produce silicon interposers in the US. These interposers are crucial components for TSMC's CoWoS advanced packaging technology, enabling the creation of complex processors for AI and high-performance computing. Production is slated to begin in the first half of 2028 at GlobalFoundries' facility in Malta, NY, aiming to establish a secure, US-based supply chain for these critical semiconductor elements. AI

IMPACT Strengthens US semiconductor supply chain for AI and HPC components, potentially reducing reliance on overseas manufacturing.
