DoD awards GlobalFoundries $117m to transfer 45nm SOI from East Fishkill to fab in Malta, NY
What happened
The U.S. Department of Defense awarded GlobalFoundries $117 million under the Defense Production Act to transfer 45nm Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) production from its East Fishkill, NY facility to its Malta, NY fab. This funding is part of a broader U.S. government initiative to secure domestic supply chains for critical microelectronics, particularly for national security applications. Watch: This government-backed capacity transfer could incrementally tighten supply for specialized, legacy SOI nodes used in defense/aerospace, but the direct impact on commercial market pricing is uncertain.
