- Uncle Sam sees the light, offers GlobalFoundries $300M to pursue silicon photonics while taking 1% stake
The US government has agreed to provide GlobalFoundries with $300 million in CHIPS Act funding and a 1% stake to advance silicon photonics technologies for AI datacenters. The investment aims to support the development of high-speed optical interconnects like co-packaged optics (CPO) and near-packaged optics (NPO), which are critical for next-generation computing systems.
