STMicroelectronics and GlobalFoundries to advance FD-SOI

▤ Summary

This includesGF’s market leading FDX technologyand ST’s comprehensivetechnology roadmap down to18nm, which are expected to remain in high demand for Automotive, IoT, and Mobile applications for the next few decades. FD-SOI offers substantial benefits for designers and customers, including ultra-low power consumption as well as easier integration of additional features such as RF connectivity,mmWave and security. By working together, ST and GF will leverage the economies of scale at the Crolles site as they accelerate semiconductor capacity the world needs with high capital efficiency. We continue to invest into our new 300mm wafer fab in Agrate (near Milan, Italy), ramping up in H1 2023 with an expected full saturation by end 2025, as well as in our vertically integrated silicon carbide and gallium nitride manufacturing.” “Our customers are seeking broad access to 22FDX capacity for auto and industrial applications. The project is subject to the execution of definitive agreements and various regulatory approvals, including from the European Commission’s DG Competition, and to the completion of the consultation with ST’s French Works Council.
