March 31 2023 - 7:32AM
Georgia Institute of Technology, one of the top public research
universities in the U.S., and GlobalFoundries (Nasdaq: GFS) (GF),
one of the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturers, today
announced a new partnership to expand collaboration on
semiconductor research, education, talent, and workforce
development.
By jointly creating and implementing new educational,
engagement, and research opportunities for students and faculty,
Georgia Tech and GF are advancing semiconductor innovation, while
helping prepare and train a new generation of talented young people
for careers in the semiconductor industry. The new partnership
includes collaborating on proposals for support from the U.S.
government through the CHIPS and Science Act funding.
“Semiconductor research is a top priority for Georgia Tech and
the nation, as we develop innovative solutions that improve
manufacturing and support our national and state economies,” said
Chaouki Abdallah, executive vice president for Research at Georgia
Tech. “Deepening our partnership with GlobalFoundries allows us to
leverage our complementary technology and talent resources to
benefit this vital industry, and to improve the human
condition.”
"At GF, we recognize the tremendous potential of semiconductors
to drive innovation, and ultimately enable the inventions and
technologies that create meaningful societal change,” said Gregg
Bartlett, chief technology officer of GF. “By partnering with
top-tier universities like Georgia Tech on research and
development, we can tap into a deep pool of academic talent and
technical expertise and bring new ideas and insights to the
forefront of our work. Through this collaboration, we aim to push
the boundaries of what is possible in feature-rich semiconductor
technology, as well as inspire students to pursue a career in the
exciting field of chip design and manufacturing."
The strategic agreement outlines a framework of collaboration
between GF and Georgia Tech to expand research and development
opportunities on GF semiconductor technology, curriculum
development, training programs, internships, and joint
faculty/engineering exchanges. Additionally, the agreement calls
for Georgia Tech and GF to partner on outreach to inspire interest
in semiconductors and highlight career opportunities in
microelectronics. GF and Georgia Tech will also explore programs to
enhance diversity and inclusion within the semiconductor
workforce.
For GF, the partnership with Georgia Tech will be overseen by GF
Labs, which leads the company’s research and development efforts to
advance GF’s differentiated technology portfolio in partnership
with leading academic, government, and industry collaborators.
