An extended collaboration to develop eNVM technology. Infineon Technologies and GlobalFoundries announced a new multi-year agreement.
Under this new agreement, Infineon’s AURIX™ TC3x 40 nanometer automotive microcontrollers as well as power management and connectivity solutions will be deployed by GlobalFoundries.
Infineon and GF have been partnering since 2013 in the development of differentiated automotive, industrial and security semiconductor technology and products.
At the center of this collaboration, GlobalFoundries and Infineon will closely work on a highly reliable embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) technology solution.
The eNVM technology is well suited for enabling mission-critical automotive applications while meeting the stringent safety and security requirements for next-generation vehicle systems.
Infineon’s flagship microcontroller family AURIX already drives the transition in the industry towards autonomous, connected, and electrified vehicles.
“With this long-term agreement, Infineon further strengthens the supply of semiconductor solutions that are driving decarbonization and digitalization,” said Dr. Rutger Wijburg, Chief Operations Officer of Infineon. “As demand continues to accelerate for automotive applications, our goal is to deliver high-quality microcontrollers with enhanced connectivity and advanced safety and security. Our AURIX microcontrollers are a key ingredient for dependable electronics as we move towards a world with all-electric, all-connected, user-centric, autonomous cars.”
“Today’s announcement secures Infineon as a key long-term customer across multiple geographies, and particularly in Europe where the automotive industry has been an important contributor to innovation and economic growth. This underscores the criticality of a global manufacturing footprint that enables us to partner with our customers to meet their capacity needs, where they need it,” said Niels Anderskouv, Chief Business Officer of GF. “Our collaboration with Infineon delivers differentiation and innovation in automotive spanning two continents, and this long-term agreement provides Infineon with additional manufacturing for a more resilient supply chain.”
The additional capacity of GlobalFoundries will contribute to secure Infineon’s business growth from 2024 through 2030.
eNVM Technology blocks are widely used as one of the core components for executing internal programming codes or storing some parameters.
