GlobalFoundries Qualifies SLATE Advanced Packaging Technology On 9SW Platform For Next-Generation Radio Frequency Applications GlobalFoundries announced the production readiness of its SLATE wafer-to-wafer bonding technology on its 9SW radio-frequency silicon-on-insulator platform, delivering advanced 3D integration for compact, high-performance cellular front-ends. Manufactured at GlobalFoundries’ 300mm facility in Singapore, 9SW SLATE technology is expected to ramp to volume production by the second half of 2027. GlobalFoundries’ first-generation SLATE technology supports wafer-to-wafer bonding, enabling designers to bond two 9SW wafers to stack and integrate large-size field-effect transistors in vertical architectures. By folding large field-effect transistors across bonded wafers, SLATE technology can reduce overall die size by up to 45%, decreasing radio frequency board space and total design area for space-constrained applications in smart mobile devices, including switches, low-noise amplifiers and antenna tuners. First introduced in 2023, the 9SW radio-frequency silicon-on-insulator platform is GlobalFoundries’ most advanced radio-frequency solution for front-end modules, spanning sub-8GHz and FR3 frequency ranges for 5G mobile devices and satellite communications. 9SW, the fourth generation of GlobalFoundries’ XSW technology, delivers a significant reduction in standby currents for longer battery life with a more than 20% enhancement in efficiency through lower on-resistance and off-capacitance. GlobalFoundries’ SLATE wafer-to-wafer bonding technology offers a roadmap for heterogeneous 3D integration across its many differentiated technologies, including FDX FD-SOI, radio-frequency silicon-on-insulator and silicon germanium, for even greater system-level capabilities across diverse markets such as data centers, satellite connectivity, IoT and mobile devices. An integrated process design kit is available through the GlobalFoundries Connect portal to help jumpstart the design process. 9SW and 9SW SLATE are available for prototyping through GlobalFoundries’ GlobalShuttle multi-project wafer program with shuttles scheduled for the second half of the year.

GlobalFoundries Introduces Scale Optical Module Solution For Co-Packaged Optics GlobalFoundries announced the introduction of its SCALE optical module solution for co-packaged optics. GF’s SCALE solution, or Silicon photonics Co-packaged Advanced Light Engine solution, is the industry’s first Optical Compute Interconnect Multi-Source Agreement (OCI MSA) capable platform, exceeding the requirements for the OCI MSA’s optical interconnect specification for modern AI scale-up architectures. Built with GF’s advanced silicon photonics technology, the SCALE CPO solution utilizes both coarse and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM, DWDM) for bi-directional data transmission over each optical fiber for significant improvements in bandwidth density and system scalability versus traditional copper interconnects. GF has already demonstrated 8 and 16 bi-directional DWDM natively on its platform, a fundamental technology milestone that uniquely positions GF to support the industry’s shift to CPO and accelerate the adoption of optical scale-up interconnects. GF’s SCALE CPO solution and silicon photonics technology offer an advanced portfolio of fully-qualified photonic devices, such as 50Gbps and 100Gbps micro-ring modulators, coupled ring resonators and integrated photodiodes. Additional features include through silicon vias (TSVs) for high-speed signaling and power delivery and copper pad pitches ranging from 110µm down to sub-45µm for 2.5D/3D stacking from organic substrates to silicon interposers, enabling customers to move quickly from design to volume production. The platform integrates electrical ICs on single-digit advanced nodes, enabling optimization between best-in-class compute and optics without compromising performance. While GF offers multiple fiber-attach approaches, the SCALE solution leverages broadband detachable fibers with flat insertion loss over the CWDM spectrum to future-proof scaling from 4 in each direction to 8 and beyond, while still enabling serviceability and known-good-die testability for next-generation AI interconnects.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 7.9% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Mar 01
