A key element of the new strategic collaboration is the use of advanced AI-enabled software, sensors and real-time control systems in fab automation to meet the growing demand for reliable semiconductors and autonomous platforms. Through centralized automation and predictive maintenance, GF and Siemens aim to increase equipment availability and operational efficiency in chip production while building capabilities that can be extended to other advanced industries. The companies intend to develop and deploy new solutions within their own operations to provide enhanced offerings.
This expanded collaboration comes at a time when demand for key semiconductors and autonomous platforms in critical areas such as artificial intelligence, defense, energy and connectivity is at an all-time high. By working together and bringing new capabilities to the table, Siemens and GF can accelerate growth, improve safety and reliability, and expand their influence across the industry.
“Our economy runs on silicon – one wafer at a time. Chips are critical for applications such as robotics or connectivity and for bringing AI into the physical world and industry. We are working together to make global semiconductor supply chains more resilient and enable efficient local manufacturing around the world,” said Cedrik Neike, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO Digital Industries.
“Secure, locally manufactured semiconductors are at the heart of the AI transformation – from the cloud to the physical world. They bring intelligence to devices we use every day, enabling applications we couldn’t have imagined just a few years ago,” said Tim Breen, CEO of GlobalFoundries. “Our unique collaboration with Siemens allows us to move faster – to develop the technologies that make this possible: differentiated, energy-efficient, connected and secure chips for a variety of next-generation applications.”
Siemens offers a comprehensive range of technologies for industry, energy and building automation and digitalization, including advanced software for chip design and manufacturing, factory automation and product lifecycle management. Using Siemens’ suite of solutions, GF and Siemens will enable seamless collaboration across the entire semiconductor lifecycle, delivering high-performance, reliable semiconductor solutions at scale.
GF, together with MIPS, a GF company and global leader in RISC-V processor IP, brings unique process technology and design expertise to accelerate the development and manufacturing of customized solutions that support Siemens’ goal of enabling autonomous platforms and physical AI chips at scale. The publicly traded US company operates manufacturing facilities in the US, Asia and Europe. In Dresden, GlobalFoundries operates the largest semiconductor production site in Europe with around 3,000 employees.
