SEMICON West - Globalfoundries Update
On Wednesday of SEMICON West I got to sit down with Gary Patton, CTO of GlobalFoundries and get an update on what has been going on with them.
Gary started the interview by pointing out that it has now been a year since the GlobalFoundries purchase of many of IBM's semiconductor assets and they have hit every commitment they made. They had a black eye from the ramp up of 28nm in Dresden, they canceled 20nm and had to license 14nm from Samsung. Last year they said they would qualify 14nm at the beginning of this year and they did. They now have a ton of tape-outs in-line, they are in production on multiple parts and yields are world class. The 14nm process they are running now will also provide a baseline for 7nm development.
