GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Soitec Announce Multiple
Long-term SOI Wafer Supply Agreements to Meet Accelerating Demand
in 5G, IoT and Data Center
Agreements secure high-volume 300-mm wafer supply
to support a broad range of customer applications across fast
growing market segments
Santa Clara, Calif. and Bernin
(Grenoble), France, June 6, 2019 - GLOBALFOUNDRIES (GF)
and Soitec today announced that they have signed multiple long-term
supply agreements for 300mm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers to
secure the high-volume supply to meet the growing demand from GF
customers for its differentiated
radio-frequency-silicon-on-insulator (RF-SOI),
fully-depleted-silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) and silicon photonics
technology platforms. The agreements, which take effect
immediately, build on the existing close relationship between the
companies to ensure state-of-the-art high-volume manufacturing for
years to come.
Through industry leadership from both companies,
RF-SOI solutions are used in 100 percent of smartphones
manufactured today and FD-SOI has become the standard technology
for cost-effective, low-power devices in high-volume consumer and
IoT applications as well as for mission critical safety solutions
in automotive proximity sensing. Silicon photonics technologies
enable solutions to support the massive growth in communication
infrastructure for data centers and next-generation 5G
communication optical networks.
"GF is delivering and investing in highly
differentiated industry-leading technologies required for 5G, IoT,
Data Center and Automotive applications," said Bami Bastani, senior
vice president of business units at GF. "These long-term agreements
with Soitec, a valued partner, represent our commitment to ensure a
secure supply of ultra-lower power, high-performance SOI solutions
and supply that meet customers fast growing needs and unprecedented
demand in these attractive markets."
"GF is leading the industry in providing differentiated SOI
solutions, creating more demand for Soitec's engineered
substrates," said Paul Boudre, CEO of Soitec."These agreements
reflect the strength of our long-term partnership as we build the
required capacity to meet this growing SOI demand."
