GlobalFoundries manufactures differentiated semiconductors for automotive, communications, industrial and aerospace systems. Its foundry services support robotics suppliers including Arbe, whose radar-chip production and turnkey manufacturing depend on GlobalFoundries.
About
GlobalFoundries was formed in 2009 and operates semiconductor fabs in the United States, Europe and Singapore. Unlike a fabless chip designer, it provides the manufacturing processes, packaging coordination and supply infrastructure that customers use to move integrated circuits from design into volume production.
Within autonomy, the company is an upstream manufacturing layer. Arbe identifies GlobalFoundries as the foundry and turnkey manufacturing partner for its radar semiconductors, linking GF capacity to perception systems used in vehicles and robotic platforms. Korthos therefore tracks the company narrowly as a semiconductor supply-chain participant, not as a robotics pure play.
