GlobalFoundries Singapore utilization tops 90% as photonics expansion hits equipment bottleneck

GlobalFoundries is expanding its Singapore site after acquiring local silicon photonics foundry Advanced Micro Foundry, combining 200mm and 300mm technologies. Capacity utilization has topped 90%, but the expansion is constrained by equipment lead times.

• GlobalFoundries Singapore capacity utilization exceeds 90%
• Company acquired local silicon photonics foundry AMF
• 200mm and 300mm silicon photonics technologies being integrated
• Expansion held back by long equipment lead times
