When complete, the facility will expand GlobalFoundries’ Singapore capacity by 450,000 wafers a year taking the total capacity to 1.5 million of its 300mm wafers a year.

The global demand for semiconductor chips is expected to increase 2.1 times in the next eight years.

Semiconductor chips are used from smart phones to automobiles.

The so-called fourth industrial revolution (4IR), the availability of fifth generation (5G) mobile communications network and the accelerated adoption of digitalisation post Covid-19 contribute to the global demand growth of semiconductor chips.
