What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

GlobalFoundries signed a multiyear agreement with TSMC valued at $2 billion to expand US production of advanced packaging components. The deal requires GlobalFoundries to supply silicon interposers for TSMC’s CoWoS advanced packaging technology. GlobalFoundries will use its Malta, New York facility to establish the first US-based source of these components for TSMC’s ecosystem. Volume production is expected to begin ramping at the Malta facility in the first half of 2028.
