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.

安全製造的芯片,用於陸地、空中、海上和太空的國防部系統
紐約州馬耳他,2023年5月30日(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)——美國國防部(DoD)通過國防微電子活動(DMEA)可信訪問計劃辦公室(TAPO),已將位於紐約馬耳他的GlobalFoundries(納斯達克股票代碼:GFS)(GF)先進製造設施認證爲1A類可信供應商,能夠爲一系列關鍵航空航天和國防應用製造安全半導體。
該認證是國防部與 GF 之間長期合作關係中的最新里程碑,得益於 GF 能夠滿足國防部的要求,即採用嚴格的安全流程、設備和監督,以接受和保護敏感信息,並以確保其安全和不受損害的方式製造可信芯片。這些安全製造的芯片包括採用格芯最先進的 12nm FinFET 技術製造的芯片,將用於陸地、空中、海上和太空的國防部系統。
格芯總裁兼首席執行官Thomas Caulfield博士表示:“半導體的安全製造對於維護爲我們現代世界提供動力的技術的機密性、完整性和可靠性至關重要,而最重要的莫過於航空航天、國防和關鍵基礎設施系統。”“我們很自豪能夠深化與國防部的關係,並在我們的紐約製造工廠獲得DMEA認證。格芯的差異化芯片技術爲關鍵的 DoD 系統提供了優化的性能,我們具有獨特的地位,能夠大規模提供安全的半導體制造。”
DMEA總監尼古拉斯·馬丁博士說:“馬耳他工廠的這項認證將使該部門能夠訪問DMEA認可的可信供應商提供的最先進的ASIC技術節點。認可GlobalFoundries製造我國的敏感芯片加強了國內微電子產業基礎,也加強了我們國家爲加強半導體供應鏈以實現國家和經濟安全所做的努力。可信供應商認證仍然是半導體保障的基準,將確保國防部能夠可靠地獲得其國防系統所需的一系列安全製造的芯片,也是國防部與格芯長期合作中的最新合作,旨在爲國防和航空航天應用提供硅基半導體。”
2022 年,國防部通過製造能力擴張和投資優先級 (MCEIP) 局與 GF 簽訂了 1.17 億美元的協議,在格芯差異化 45 納米 SOI 平臺上爲在紐約馬耳他製造的美國製造的半導體提供戰略供應。該認證進一步提高了 GF 紐約工廠對《美國國際武器貿易條例》(ITAR) 和《出口管理條例》(EAR) 下嚴格限制的出口管制分類號的遵守情況。GF 在馬耳他、紐約擁有約 2,500 名員工,並在該設施上投資了超過 150 億美元。GF 還在其位於佛蒙特州的工廠爲國防部生產 Trusted 半導體芯片。
