GlobalFoundries licenses GaN tech from TSMC
GlobalFoundries (GF) has entered into a technology licensing agreement with TSMC for 650V and 80V GaN technology.
This move aims to will accelerate GF’s next generation of GaN products for data centre, industrial and automotive power applications and provide US-based GaN capacity for a global customer base.
GF will qualify the licensed GaN technology at its manufacturing facility in Burlington, Vermont, using the site’s expertise in high-voltage GaN-on-Silicon technology to accelerate volume production for customers seeking next-generation power devices.
Development is set for early 2026, with production to begin later in the year.
“This agreement reinforces GF’s commitment to innovation and its strategic focus on differentiated technologies that address essential power devices that we use to live, work and connect,” said Téa Williams, senior vice president, power business at GlobalFoundries.
Adding: “With the addition of this proven GaN technology, we will accelerate the development of our next-generation GaN chips and deliver differentiated solutions that address critical power gaps for mission critical applications from the data centre, to the car, and to the factory floor.”
