U.S. Chip Makers Embrace Collaboration​

In a bid to accelerate 5G wireless connectivity, GlobalFoundries is licensing gallium nitride technology from Raytheon Technologies.

The GaN-on-Si devices will be fabricated at GlobalFoundries’ Fab 9 facility in Essex Junction, Vt. As horse-trading advances in the Senate for funding U.S. semiconductor R&D, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, called the 5G chip partnership “good news for the nation’s semiconductor supply chain and competitiveness.

The deal with Raytheon reflects the U.S. foundry operator’s emphasis on key RF components required to keep pace in the race to deploy 5G and, eventually, 6G wireless networks. Those networks will transport everything from streaming video to big data collected by edge AI devices.

Company officials have stressed GlobalFoundries’ emphasis on “high-mix applications [with] modest volumes,” including those incorporating RF front-ends, microcontrollers and battery management. That pragmatic strategy varies markedly from cutting-edge process technologies offered by foundry leaders like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and Samsung Electronics.

Fab 9 foi uma das Fab que a GF recebeu da IBM, o processo mais recente ali é 90nm.

IBM, GlobalFoundries in Breach-of-Contract Spat​

IBM is suing GlobalFoundries for breach of contract and is asking for $2.5 billion in damages. IBM made GlobalFoundries aware of the suit, but informed EE Times it hasn’t filed it in court yet, and so is not yet prepared to share it publicly. GlobalFoundries has already filed a petition with the New York State Supreme Court to dismiss the pending suit as meritless.

Why IBM Is Suing GlobalFoundries Over Chip Roadmap Failures​

The lawsuit, filed in the New York Supreme Court on June 8, has not yet been made public on that court’s systems, but we got our hands on a heavily redacted version and you can download the PDF file here. The GlobalFoundries response, which came out before anyone was aware of the IBM lawsuit and a day before IBM filed the lawsuit, has been made public and can be found at this link.


This situation is messy for IBM and GlobalFoundries: technically, economically, and emotionally. But if the things that IBM is alleging in its lawsuit are true, then this will be a textbook case of how a foundry partnership can go bad.

Aparentemente já deu entrada no Tribunal.

GlobalFoundries Sues IBM For Giving Chip Secrets to Intel, Rapidus

GlobalFoundries alleges that IBM has illicitly revealed its proprietary IP and trade secrets that it got after acquiring IBM's microelectronics division in 2015. The complaint asserts that IBM's top management has portrayed the Intel and Rapidus collaborations as relying on technology developed over several decades from research conducted at the Albany NanoTech Complex. However, GlobalFoundries considers that IP its property following its acquisition of IBM's microelectronics business eight years ago.

"GlobalFoundries filed this meritless lawsuit after a court rejected the company's attempt to dismiss IBM's legitimate fraud and breach of contract claims," a statement by IBM published by Reuters reads. "Their allegations are entirely baseless, and we are confident that the court will agree."
