2-FABRICATIONWe take Global Foundries company as a module for this stage, it represents the way of

manufacturing in Germany.

Manufacturing

GLOBALFOUNDRIES offers a broad range of manufacturing capabilities, from the very leading edge of process technology to more mature, cost-effective process nodes. The company

operates several fabs, including both 300mm (12-inch) wafer and 200mm (8-inch) production. The company invests in the most advanced and sophisticated equipment and

processes to ensure the highest degrees of quality, reliability and cost-effectiveness for its customers. It consistently produces wafers with industry-leading yield and defect

performance. All of GLOBALFOUNDRIES's fabs are ISO9001, ISO 14001 and ISO/TS16949 certified. Three of the fabs have been recognized as Fab of the Year by Semiconductor

International Magazine.

In addition to leading process technologies of 45/40nm, 32nm, 28nm and a roadmap to 20nm and below, GLOBALFOUNDRIES offers a full suite of 'value added solutions' (VAS) that

are tuned to the unique needs of specialty applications in analog, mixed-signal and RF markets. These solutions combine proven, cost effective manufacturing technology with a

robust ecosystem of support for specific market segments.

Through the collaborative development and investment with the Joint Development Alliance (Freescale, IBM, Infineon, NEC, Samsung, ST, and Toshiba), GLOBALFOUNDRIES has been able to significantly accelerate its technology roadmap, leapfrogging other pure play foundries and delivering the most aggressive technology vision in the foundry industry. GLOBALFOUNDRIES's customers have access to the foremost innovations in semiconductor manufacturing, including such advancements as High-k metal gate, silicon on insulator (SOI), low power technologies, and other breakthroughs that are addressing the challenges of scaling with Moore's Law.

300mm Manufacturing

Our advanced operational and technology capabilities are made available through a global manufacturing network, anchored by existing 300mm facilities in Singapore, Germany, and a

new manufacturing operation under construction in Saratoga County, New York. Periodic benchmarking conducted by third parties consistently places GLOBALFOUNDRIES as a leader worldwide in the major categories for fab performance. We have the ability to introduce technologies with greater process maturity than is typical of the foundry industry enabling the fastest volume ramps in the industry.

Fab 1 - Dresden, Germany

The Dresden manufacturing site is recognized throughout the industry as among the most successful leading-edge semiconductor production facility in the world. Fab 1 represents one of the biggest international investments in Germany with a total investment to date of more than $7 billion, and about 3,000 world-class engineers, technicians, and specialists.
