The collaboration, marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Porto, establishes a comprehensive EU supply chain by integrating GlobalFoundries' semiconductor wafer production with Amkor's OSAT services.
This involves transferring GF's advanced tools to Amkor's certified Porto facility, creating Europe's first at-scale back-end semiconductor manufacturing center.
Aligned with EU objectives for regionalizing automotive semiconductor manufacturing, the collaboration aims to enhance supply chain stability and reinforce Portugal's position in the global semiconductor landscape.
