Semiconductor Digest | English | AcademicThink | Nov. 12, 2025 | UndeterminedTech Development/Adoption
GlobalFoundries has entered into a technology licensing agreement with TSMC for 650V and 80V Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology. This partnership aims to accelerate GlobalFoundries’ development of next-generation GaN products targeting datacenter, industrial, and automotive power applications, while establishing U.S.-based GaN manufacturing capacity for a global clientele.
As silicon CMOS technologies approach performance limits, GaN is becoming the preferred solution for higher efficiency, power density, and compactness in power systems. GlobalFoundries is building a comprehensive GaN portfolio focused on enabling electric vehicles, datacenters, renewable energy systems, and fast-charging electronics, with technology designed to withstand harsh environments through a broad approach to reliability.
GlobalFoundries will qualify the licensed GaN technology at its Burlington, Vermont manufacturing facility, which specializes in high-voltage GaN-on-Silicon technology, to fast-track volume production. Development is planned for early 2026 with production starting later that year. The company emphasizes its commitment to innovation and delivering differentiated power device solutions for mission-critical applications across various industries.
