GlobalFoundries Gets Ready for 300mm Wafers
For the past year, GlobalFoundries has been constructing brand-new clean rooms in its New York and Dresden facilities to support 300mm wafers. Once the equipment is in place, the facilities will be able to support the manufacturing of semiconductors on 300mm wafer sizes. Offering more surface area than the traditional 200mm wafers, a 300mm facility can produce chips at a faster rate and lower cost while dropping energy and water usage by up to 40 per cent.
