## Products & services

GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ process offerings include FinFET, FD-SOI (FDX™), RF-SOI, SiGe, RF GaN, power GaN, silicon photonics, and BCD/high-voltage BCD, alongside feature-rich CMOS. Its listed CMOS nodes range from 22 nm through 180 nm; the portfolio also includes BCD offerings at 55 nm, 130 nm, and 150–180 nm. These platforms support applications including low-power computing, wireless connectivity, power management, automotive systems, and optical interconnects. [10](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154391180)[11](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T17811372)[12](https://gf.com/technologies/cmos/fdx-fd-soi/)[13](https://gf.com/technologies/rf/rf-soi/)[14](https://gf.com/technologies/silicon-photonics/)

Specific capabilities include FDX FD-SOI’s low-voltage operation and adaptive body biasing; BCD integration of analog, digital, and power devices across a stated 5–150 V portfolio, with deep-trench isolation up to 200 V; and silicon-photonics technologies for optical interconnects. Recent examples of products designed on GF platforms include an ADAS radar taped out on FDX, a microLED display backplane on SLPe, and automotive 5V/10V power-management ICs on BCD. [12](https://gf.com/technologies/cmos/fdx-fd-soi/)[15](https://gf.com/technologies/power/bcd/)[14](https://gf.com/technologies/silicon-photonics/)[16](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P146498892)[17](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P146498897)[18](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P146498893)

Services include wafer manufacturing, non-recurring engineering, mask production, process qualification, IP licensing and royalties, and post-fabrication bumping, testing, and packaging. GF also offers design enablement and design-to-silicon support through its partner ecosystem, as well as advanced-packaging design and integration services. [19](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P146261933)[20](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154391200)[21](https://gf.com/technologies/advanced-packaging/)[22](https://gf.com/manufacturing/services/advanced-packaging-centers/)

GF does not report performance as a percentage of revenue by individual product or process platform in the cited materials; its Q2 2026 revenue mix is presented by end market and technology services instead. [23](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T16767846)

## Geographic presence

In its FY2025 reporting, GLOBALFOUNDRIES described operations across three continents. Its global headquarters and principal executive offices are in Malta, New York. Its disclosed manufacturing sites include Malta, New York; Burlington, Vermont; Dresden, Germany; and Singapore. The company’s manufacturing directory also lists Guangzhou, China, though the reviewed filing does not establish the ownership or operating arrangement of that location. [24](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154391164)[25](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154391165)[26](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154391166)[27](https://gf.com/manufacturing/)

The company also lists offices or work locations in Sofia, Bulgaria; Bengaluru, Kolkata, Pune and Hyderabad, India; and Penang, Malaysia. GF’s career pages cite approximately 3,000 employees in Dresden and more than 1,500 across its India presence; these figures are location-specific, not a full employee distribution. Its FY2025 filing reports revenue by end market rather than geography, so a country- or region-level revenue split is not available in the reviewed disclosure.

## Business segments

For FY2025, GLOBALFOUNDRIES reported one operating and reportable segment; its chief operating decision-maker evaluates performance and allocates resources using consolidated financial information. [32](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154392396)

As an alternative view of its business, the company reports revenue by end market. Of FY2025 net revenue of $6.791 billion, Smart Mobile Devices contributed $2.678 billion (about 39%); Automotive $1.410 billion (21%); Home and Industrial IoT $1.189 billion (18%); and Communications Infrastructure & Data Center $745 million (11%). [31](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154391195) These markets serve, respectively, mobile-device requirements; automotive needs such as reliability and long product lifetimes; connected-home, industrial automation, building and energy management, edge-AI, and aerospace and defense applications; and communications and data-center demand for bandwidth and performance. [4](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154391185)[33](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154391191)

The remaining $769 million, or about 11% of revenue, was reported as Non-Wafer Revenue, rather than as a separate end market. [31](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154391195)

## Company history

GLOBALFOUNDRIES was founded on March 4, 2009, when a Mubadala subsidiary acquired AMD’s Dresden manufacturing operations and its Malta, New York fab project. The company’s early growth included its acquisition of Chartered Semiconductor in 2010 and the construction of Fab 8 in Malta. [25](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154391165)[6](https://gf.com/about-gf/)

In 2015, GLOBALFOUNDRIES acquired IBM’s commercial semiconductor technology business, adding IBM’s semiconductor operations, including its Burlington, Vermont manufacturing site. Thomas Caulfield became president and CEO in 2018. The company began trading on Nasdaq in October 2021. [34](https://investors.gf.com/news-releases/news-release-details/globalfoundries-acquire-ibms-microelectronics-business)[35](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154391403)[36](https://investors.gf.com/investor-relations/ir-resources/faqs)

GLOBALFOUNDRIES opened a $4 billion expansion of its Singapore facility in 2023. In 2025, it acquired the remaining stake in Singapore joint venture Silicon Manufacturing Partners, as well as MIPS, InfiniLink, and Advanced Micro Foundry, expanding its manufacturing and technology portfolio. That year, Tim Breen became CEO, succeeding Caulfield, who became Executive Chairman.
