Securely manufactured chips to be used in DoD systems on land, air, sea, and in space
MALTA, N.Y., May 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), through the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA), Trusted Access Program Office (TAPO), has accredited GlobalFoundries' (Nasdaq: GFS) (GF) advanced manufacturing facility in Malta, New York, as a Category 1A Trusted Supplier with the ability to manufacture secure semiconductors for a range of critical aerospace and defense applications.
The latest milestone in the longstanding partnership between the DoD and GF, the accreditation was enabled by GF's ability to meet DoD requirements for having stringent security processes, equipment, and oversight in place to accept and protect sensitive information and manufacture Trusted chips in a way that ensures they are secure and uncompromised. These securely manufactured chips include those manufactured on GF's most advanced 12nm FinFET technologies, and will be used in DoD systems on land, air, sea, and in space.
"The secure manufacturing of semiconductors is critical to safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and reliability of the technology that powers our modern world, and nowhere is this more important than aerospace, defense, and critical infrastructure systems," said Dr. Thomas Caulfield, president and CEO of GF. "We are proud to deepen our relationship with the Defense Department, and to receive DMEA accreditation at our New York manufacturing facility. GF's differentiated chip technologies provide optimized performance for critical DoD systems, and we are uniquely positioned by our ability to provide secure semiconductor manufacturing at scale."
Dr. Nicholas Martin, DMEA Director, said: "This accreditation at the Malta site will enable the Department to have access to the most advanced ASIC technology node available from a DMEA accredited Trusted Supplier. Accrediting GlobalFoundries to manufacture our country's sensitive chips strengthens the domestic microelectronics industrial base and our nation's efforts to fortify its semiconductor supply chain for national and economic security. Trusted Supplier accreditation continues to be a benchmark in semiconductor assurance and will ensure the DoD has reliable access to a range of securely manufactured chips it needs for its defense systems and is the latest collaboration in the longstanding partnership between the DoD and GF to provide silicon-based semiconductors for defense and aerospace applications."
In 2022, the DoD, through the Manufacturing Capability Expansion and Investment Prioritization (MCEIP) Directorate, entered a $117 million agreement with GF to provide a strategic supply of U.S.-made semiconductors built in Malta, New York, on GF's differentiated 45nm SOI platform. This accreditation adds to GF's New York Facility's compliance with U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and highly restrictive Export Control Classification Numbers under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). GF employs approximately 2,500 people in Malta, New York, and has invested more than $15 billion in the facility. GF also manufactures Trusted semiconductor chips for the DoD at its facility in Vermont.

安全制造的芯片,用于陆地、空中、海上和太空的国防部系统
纽约州马耳他,2023年5月30日(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)——美国国防部(DoD)通过国防微电子活动(DMEA)可信访问计划办公室(TAPO),已将位于纽约马耳他的GlobalFoundries(纳斯达克股票代码:GFS)(GF)先进制造设施认证为1A类可信供应商,能够为一系列关键航空航天和国防应用制造安全半导体。
该认证是国防部与 GF 之间长期合作关系中的最新里程碑,得益于 GF 能够满足国防部的要求,即采用严格的安全流程、设备和监督,以接受和保护敏感信息,并以确保其安全和不受损害的方式制造可信芯片。这些安全制造的芯片包括采用格芯最先进的 12nm FinFET 技术制造的芯片,将用于陆地、空中、海上和太空的国防部系统。
格芯总裁兼首席执行官Thomas Caulfield博士表示:“半导体的安全制造对于维护为我们现代世界提供动力的技术的机密性、完整性和可靠性至关重要,而最重要的莫过于航空航天、国防和关键基础设施系统。”“我们很自豪能够深化与国防部的关系,并在我们的纽约制造工厂获得DMEA认证。格芯的差异化芯片技术为关键的 DoD 系统提供了优化的性能,我们具有独特的地位,能够大规模提供安全的半导体制造。”
DMEA总监尼古拉斯·马丁博士说:“马耳他工厂的这项认证将使该部门能够访问DMEA认可的可信供应商提供的最先进的ASIC技术节点。认可GlobalFoundries制造我国的敏感芯片加强了国内微电子产业基础,也加强了我们国家为加强半导体供应链以实现国家和经济安全所做的努力。可信供应商认证仍然是半导体保障的基准,将确保国防部能够可靠地获得其国防系统所需的一系列安全制造的芯片,也是国防部与格芯长期合作中的最新合作,旨在为国防和航空航天应用提供硅基半导体。”
2022 年,国防部通过制造能力扩张和投资优先级 (MCEIP) 局与 GF 签订了 1.17 亿美元的协议,在格芯差异化 45 纳米 SOI 平台上为在纽约马耳他制造的美国制造的半导体提供战略供应。该认证进一步提高了 GF 纽约工厂对《美国国际武器贸易条例》(ITAR) 和《出口管理条例》(EAR) 下严格限制的出口管制分类号的遵守情况。GF 在马耳他、纽约拥有约 2,500 名员工,并在该设施上投资了超过 150 亿美元。GF 还在其位于佛蒙特州的工厂为国防部生产 Trusted 半导体芯片。
