GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) and Toppan Photomasks, Inc. (TPI) today
announced a multi-year extension to their Advanced Mask Technology
Center (AMTC) joint venture in Dresden, Germany. Opened in 2002, the
AMTC provides GF’s fabs in Dresden, Malta and Singapore with high-end
production and development masks at world-class cycle times in support
of the foundry’s ambitious technology roadmap. The AMTC also supports
TPI customers worldwide from Dresden.
Owned equally by TPI and GF, the AMTC joint venture was previously
extended in 2012 to further increase tool capability and capacity. This
new extension to the agreement aims to continue the current charter for
manufacturing production masks as well as developing mask technology for
ever smaller geometries. GF is both TPI’s partner in the joint venture
and a strategic and critical customer, while TPI is GF’s preferred mask
supplier, leveraging AMTC and TPI’s global manufacturing network to
support GF’s worldwide operations.
