GlobalFoundries has finalized an agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s CHIPS Research and Development Office for up to $375 million in research and development funding over five years. The award will support the company’s Quantum Technology Solutions business, which aims to scale U.S.-based quantum semiconductor manufacturing and help quantum-computing companies move from research and prototyping toward commercial production. Funding is tied to specified milestones and will support work in cryogenic CMOS, advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration. GlobalFoundries said the agreement advances a secure domestic quantum-chip ecosystem and follows its separate $300 million letter of intent with the office for silicon-photonics research and development.
