GlobalFoundries wins $375M to build US quantum chip manufacturing
GlobalFoundries received a $375 million R&D award from the U.S. Department of Commerce. The funding is intended to expand its Quantum Technology Solutions business and build out domestic quantum chip manufacturing capacity.
Within two years, this could give U.S. photonic quantum computing startups access to production-scale silicon photonics fabrication at GlobalFoundries, reducing their reliance on small research fabs.
