FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) August 25, 2010 -- This interview with Tom Sonderman of GLOBALFOUNDRIES, I find out how they are progressing in making the transition from being an Integrated Device Manufacturer (IDM) under AMD to being a foundry semiconductor company. In less than two years, they have gone from having one customer to around 150. Business is booming. They were once expanding only in Dresden and now they are breaking out into Singapore and New York to deal with the demand. We also delve into how the merger with Chartered Semiconductor is going and what it has meant to what Tom calls “Rapid Foundry Adaptation.”

Then we discuss what GLOBALFOUNDRIES is bringing to the foundry industry that new. This includes design and process concurrency, faster time to market, DEM, APM, automated decision making and scheduling.
