GlobalFoundries has finalized a $375 million research and development award under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act, aimed at advancing its quantum technology capabilities. The funding, announced in September 2026, will support the company’s Quantum Technology Solutions unit, which specializes in quantum semiconductor manufacturing. The award is structured to be disbursed over a five-year period, contingent on achieving specified milestones, and complements a separate $300 million letter of intent for silicon photonics research, also secured from the Department’s CHIPS Research and Development Office. Together, these agreements underscore GlobalFoundries’ commitment to scaling domestic quantum manufacturing, bridging the gap between research and commercial production for quantum computing firms.
