日本向GlobalFoundries提出最高210亿美元资助,用于扩建其现有的美国半导体综合基地,这是两国与按销售额计第五大芯片代工厂之间前所未有的公私合作。分析师对该方案涉及的政府支持提出警示。
根据协议,GlobalFoundries将在其位于纽约州马耳他的现有基地新建并运营两座芯片厂,该安排属于美国总统唐纳德·特朗普政府主导的美日贸易与投资协议,特朗普曾承诺将芯片制造带回美国。
该公司在10月14日的新闻稿中表示,该计划将加速美国芯片生产、强化关键供应链并支持不断增长的AI需求。GlobalFoundries CEO Tim Breen在网络直播中表示,两座厂投产后,美国产能将提升约10%。
Breen表示,该投资还降低了日本的地理集中风险。GlobalFoundries对该新投资模式表示欢迎,称预计可实现与当前利润率相似的每片硅晶圆利润,而无需承担数百亿美元的相关固定成本。

日本是主要芯片制造国,但其大部分生产仍留在国内。与此同时,全球芯片产业已超越国界。
Breen指出:“这是半导体制造领域一项大胆的新举措,将美国和日本与GF的差异化技术及数十年制造经验结合在一起,以加速纽约的可信产能。”
GlobalFoundries现有客户,包括Apple、Renesas、General Motors和Cirrus Logic,对该计划表示支持。GlobalFoundries也一直是美国军方的可信芯片供应商。
Renesas CEO Hidetoshi Shibata在新闻稿中表示:“我们正围绕GF在纽约的新产能进行规划,将其视为Renesas自身生产布局的延伸,即由强大的美日伙伴关系支持的可信美国制造。随着全球电气化、连接、AI和数据中心应用需求加速,这些能力对于交付先进解决方案至关重要。”
Apple COO Sabih Khan在新闻稿中表示:“我们已与GlobalFoundries合作,在美国本土为Apple产品生产关键芯片,这是我们6000亿美元美国投资承诺的一部分。”
GM总裁Mark Reuss表示:“GM正在对自动驾驶和集中式计算进行战略投资,以推动下一代软件定义汽车并大规模交付以客户为中心的技术,包括在我们车辆中广泛部署AI和突破性能力。GM和GF建立了首个汽车制造商与代工厂之间的直接供应协议,而扩大纽约州北部本土拥有和运营的晶圆厂产能标志着美国制造业向前迈出决定性一步。”
第一座晶圆厂由100亿美元投资支持,计划于2029年开始生产。第一座厂满产后将为美国年产能增加约90万片300毫米晶圆。第二座设施将达到相同目标。

美国投资
在特朗普政府领导下,美国政府一直在寻求与半导体行业建立伙伴关系。
美国商务部表示,将持有GlobalFoundries 4%的股权,使美国公众能够分享GlobalFoundries的成长。美国政府一年多前持有GlobalFoundries竞争对手Intel 10%的股权。美国最近向IBM位于纽约的新量子芯片代工厂Anderon授予10亿美元研发资金。
GlobalFoundries已与商务部达成一致,修改现有CHIPS法案奖励,重新分配9.55亿美元给该公司,以促进其位于马耳他和佛蒙特州伯灵顿工厂在硅光、硅锗和先进封装方面的早期投资。
分析师对该公司的担忧是,其可能过于依赖政府支持。
法国巴黎银行股票研究高级分析师Karl Ackerman在提供给EE Times的报告中表示:“来自日本的新投资以及资金重新分配至硅光及相关技术,将增强GF服务偏好美国制造产能客户的能力。美国政府决定持有这一重要股权对GF是一个有意义的利好,实际上使该公司成为政府支持的战略供应商。然而,我们认为今天的新闻也凸显出GF的长期增长前景在多大程度上依赖政府干预,而非自由市场竞争。”
GlobalFoundries-TSMC合作
GlobalFoundries是最早进入硅光业务的代工厂之一。
10月8日,GlobalFoundries宣布与TSMC达成协议,为TSMC的CoWoS先进封装提供美国本土硅中介层供应,据EE Times调查的分析师称,该封装一直是生产瓶颈。根据协议,GlobalFoundries将在其纽约工厂增加产能,以支持不断增长的AI需求。
生产计划于2028年上半年开始。该协议初始期限为五年,并规定未来可扩展。
TSMC拒绝置评,理由是在公司今日季度财报发布前的静默期。
TSMC报告2026年第三季度销售额和利润创纪录。这家全球最大芯片代工厂表示,其一直在谨慎投资产能扩张,预计今年资本开支在600亿至640亿美元之间。
尽管如此,TSMC CEO C.C. Wei今日在与分析师的财报电话会议上表示,公司在代工业务中“无意给他人留下盘中餐”。Wei补充说,在亚利桑那州凤凰城首个“gigafab”扩建后,公司一直在评估德克萨斯州。

GLOBALFOUNDRIES
Japan has offered up to $21 billion to GlobalFoundries to expand its existing U.S. semiconductor complex in an unprecedented public-private partnership between the two nations and the fifth-largest chip foundry by sales. Analysts voiced concerns that the company may be too dependent on government support.
Under the agreement, GlobalFoundries will build and run two new chip fabs at its existing Malta, New York, site under a U.S.-Japan trade and investment agreement led by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has pledged to return chipmaking to the U.S.
The initiative will accelerate U.S. chip production, strengthen critical supply chains, and support growing AI demand, the company said in an Oct. 14 press release. After the two fabs enter production, U.S. capacity will increase by about 10%, GlobalFoundries CEO Tim Breen said on a webcast.
The investment also reduces Japan’s geographic concentration risk, Breen said. GlobalFoundries hailed the new investment model, expecting to achieve profit per silicon wafer similar to current margins without incurring associated fixed costs in the tens of billions of dollars, the company said.

Japan is a major chipmaking nation, yet most of its production remains at home. The global chip industry, meanwhile, has evolved beyond borders.
“This is a bold new initiative for semiconductor manufacturing, bringing together the U.S. and Japan with GF’s differentiated technology and decades of manufacturing expertise to accelerate trusted capacity in New York,” Breen noted.
Existing GlobalFoundries customers, including Apple, Renesas, General Motors, and Cirrus Logic, gave their endorsement to the plan. GlobalFoundries has also been a trusted supplier of chips to the U.S. military.
“We are planning around GF’s new capacity in New York as an extension of Renesas’s own production footprint, trusted U.S.-based manufacturing backed by a strong U.S.-Japan partnership,” Renesas CEO Hidetoshi Shibata said in the release. “These capabilities are essential as we deliver advanced solutions, with demand for electrification, connectivity, AI, and data center applications accelerating worldwide.”
“We’ve partnered with GlobalFoundries to produce essential chips for Apple products right here in the U.S., as part of our $600 billion commitment to American investment,” said Sabih Khan, Apple’s COO, in the release.
“GM is making strategic investments in autonomy and centralized computing to power the next generation of software-defined vehicles and deliver customer-focused technologies at scale, including widespread deployment of AI across our vehicles and breakthrough capabilities,” GM president Mark Reuss said. “GM and GF established the first direct automaker-to-foundry supply agreement, and expanding domestically owned and operated fab capacity in upstate New York marks a decisive step forward for American manufacturing.”
The first fab, backed by a $10 billion investment, is scheduled to begin production in 2029. The first fab will add about 900,000 300-mm wafers to annual U.S. capacity when fully loaded. The second facility will reach the same target.

U.S. investment
Under the Trump administration, the U.S. government has pursued partnerships with the semiconductor industry.
The U.S. Department of Commerce (DoC) said it will take a 4% equity stake in GlobalFoundries, enabling the American public to share in GlobalFoundries’ growth. The U.S. government more than a year ago took a 10% equity stake in GlobalFoundries’ rival Intel. The U.S. recently awarded $1 billion in R&D funding to Anderon, IBM’s new quantum chip foundry, in New York.
GlobalFoundries has agreed with the DoC to change an existing CHIPS Act award to reallocate $955 million to the company to boost earlier investments in silicon photonics, silicon-germanium (SiGe), and advanced packaging at facilities in Malta and Burlington, Vermont.
Analysts expressed concern that the company may be relying too heavily on government support.
“The new investments from Japan along with the reallocation of funds to silicon photonics and related technologies will strengthen GF’s ability to serve customers that prefer U.S.-based manufacturing capacity,” BNP Paribas Equity Research senior analyst Karl Ackerman said in a report provided to EE Times. “The U.S. government’s decision to take this significant equity stake is a meaningful positive for GF, effectively positioning the company as a government-backed strategic supplier. However, we think today’s news also underscores the extent to which GF’s long-term growth prospects lean on government intervention rather than free-market competitiveness.”
GlobalFoundries-TSMC partnership
GlobalFoundries has been one of the first foundries to enter the silicon photonics business.
On Oct. 8, GlobalFoundries announced an agreement with TSMC for a U.S.-based supply of silicon interposers for TSMC’s CoWoS advanced packaging that has been a production bottleneck, according to analysts surveyed by EE Times. Under the agreement, GlobalFoundries will add capacity at its New York facility, supporting growing AI demand.
Production is slated for the first half of 2028. The agreement has an initial term of five years and provides for future expansion.
TSMC declined to comment, citing a quiet period leading up to the company’s quarterly earnings announcement today.
TSMC reported record sales and profit for the third quarter of 2026. The world’s top chip foundry said it has been investing carefully in capacity expansion, projected to be somewhere between $60 billion and $64 billion this year.
Even so, TSMC CEO C.C. Wei said on an earnings call with analysts today that the company has “no intention of leaving food on the table for others” in the foundry business. Wei added that the company has been evaluating Texas after expansion of its first “gigafab” in Phoenix, Arizona.
