GlobalFoundries plans to put its next-generation FDX Fusion process platform into production at its Dresden, Germany fab in 2028. According to Semiconductor Industry Watch, the platform is based on fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) technology and targets the physical AI sector, covering automotive electronics, robotics, industrial automation and edge AI devices. The report recalled that GlobalFoundries suspended 7nm FinFET development as early as 2018 and pivoted to specialty processes such as FD-SOI, RF and power semiconductors, building its layout around the two core needs of interconnect and power delivery; after acquiring Singapore-based silicon photonics foundry AMF, GlobalFoundries says it has become the world's largest silicon photonics foundry by revenue. The plan is currently at the announcement stage, and there are no follow-up reports on production progress.

GlobalFoundries Bets on FD-SOI, Plans to Start FDX Fusion Production in Dresden in 2028
GlobalFoundries is extending fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) technology into the physical AI sector, with plans to start production of its next-generation FDX Fusion process platform at its Dresden, Germany fab in 2028, covering automotive electronics, robotics, industrial automation and edge AI devices. As early as 2018, GlobalFoundries paused 7nm FinFET development and shifted to specialty processes such as FD-SOI, RF and power semiconductors, building its layout around the two core needs of interconnect and power delivery. After acquiring Singapore-based silicon photonics foundry AMF, GlobalFoundries says it has become the world's largest silicon photonics foundry by revenue.
