Global Foundries announced that investment in expansion of the United States, Europe and Asia's focus, which plans to invest $ 1 billion in the next two years in Dresden, Dresden, Dresden, has been investing in the Wen Factory, which is subject to this Global Foundries CEO Tom Caulfield Interviews, Global Foundries are also possible in Dresden to build another large wafer factory, depending on the investment support from Global Foundries.

According to ENews Analog report, Caulfield said that Global Foundries will do our utmost to invest in, but require government and partners in investment to make investment economic significance.

CAULFIELD believes that if there is no government cooperation and the right investment, those goals that contain ambition will be impossible. The problem is that sometimes the government provides the funding amount, there are dozens of qualified recipients, and thus will dilute into various industrialists to achieve a small part of the funds. The speech is the support of the first 12-inch wafer plant building, and the appropriate amount must be provided.

For the European 2nm process node development, Caulfield pointed out that Europe should not worry about the problem of wafer system, which is two. First, there is no photolithography technology that cannot be engaged in anything in the semiconductor field, and European ASML is a global leadership manufacturer of lithography. If there is no capital expenditure for the illuminating machine, no one can act in the semiconductor field, so Europe has great control over the semiconductor industry.

The second reason is that today's technology has jumped over to the next node from a generation of generations to the next node to improve PC lead to calculate the maximum effectiveness of the central electronic product per unit dollar per unit. In the era of smart phones, semiconductor demand diversity is explosive, including RF circuits, touch displays, sensors, and the like. The technology industry turns from the computer-centered calculation deployment, and the chip company does not lack the NM chip, which is lacking is a diverse chip.

For EU plans to 2030, it is impractical to increase the world's walnish manufacturing to 20% of the global proportion, caulfield believes that in the past, many examples have shown that it is important to have an intentive goal, and thus change thinking. In the way, forcing things that must be changed by different standards, it can be across the hindrance.

Given that there are many semiconductor manufacturing investments in the world to do, why not put some of the major investments in Europe. Global Foundries Germany Dresden 12-inch wafer factory, a large pillar of the German "Saxony Silicon Valley", and it is also possible to become a large key to the EU to retrore its semiconductor manufacturing, and strengthen the key to the manufacture of autonomous wafers.
