GlobalFoundries Acquires Advanced Micro Foundry to Boost Silicon Photonics Leadership
GlobalFoundries (GFS) acquired Advanced Micro Foundry (AMF) on Nov 18, 2025, creating the largest pure-play silicon photonics foundry by revenue. The deal expands GF’s 200mm production with plans to scale to 300mm and accelerates silicon photonics capacity in the U.S. and Singapore for AI datacenters and other applications. GF will establish a silicon photonics research center in Singapore with A*STAR, targeting 400Gbps data transfer solutions. This move strengthens GF’s position in the growing silicon photonics market.
