New GlobalFoundries facility to create 1,000 jobs

The semiconductor giant has job openings for technicians and engineers.

Semiconductor manufacturing company GlobalFoundries' (GF) new facility in Singapore is expected to create 1,000 new jobs, including technicians and engineers.

The facility, which broke ground last year, includes a 250,000-square-feet (23,000 square metres) of cleanroom space and new administrative offices.

Recently, its cleanroom space welcomed its first tool, a market-leading etch tool made by Lam Research.

Following today’s first tool-in ceremony, GF will continue adding new tools to the cleanroom over the coming months and is expected to ramp up in 2023.

Once complete, the new facility will have the capacity to manufacture 450,000 wafers (300mm) per year, raising the total capacity of GF’s Singapore site to approximately 1.5 million wafers (300mm) annually.

Given its capacity, GF believes its new facility will be the most advanced semiconductor manufacturing site in Singapore.

“This first phase of our Singapore expansion plan is a tremendous example of strong partnerships driving our industry forward. This first tool moved into our facility was incredible to witness and is a harbinger of more great milestones on the horizon for GF.” CEO Thomas Caulfield said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
