盡管在新加坡有一個(gè)長期擴(kuò)大的計(jì)劃，但由于“當(dāng)前宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)環(huán)境疲軟”，芯片代工制造商Globalfoundries表示，將削減新加坡的300個(gè)職位。 該公司表示，此次裁員數(shù)量約為Globalfoundries新加坡員工總數(shù)的4%。他們還同時(shí)宣布，Globalfoundries公司將著手一個(gè)長期計(jì)劃，旨在擴(kuò)大新加坡工廠的300毫米晶圓制造能力。該計(jì)劃被稱為“2015年遠(yuǎn)景規(guī)劃（Vision 2015）”，但該公司并沒有提供該項(xiàng)目的預(yù)算。 Globalfoundries表示，他們打算對(duì)新加坡廠現(xiàn)有的和新的工藝技術(shù)進(jìn)行組合調(diào)整，以更好地滿足增長的市場(chǎng)需求，并且將公司合作伙伴定位為需要先進(jìn)模擬技術(shù)、數(shù)字技術(shù)、高電壓和RF功能產(chǎn)品的企業(yè)。計(jì)劃的初始階段包括Fab 7 300毫米設(shè)備產(chǎn)能的擴(kuò)充，預(yù)計(jì)達(dá)到每年近1萬片晶圓。此次擴(kuò)充預(yù)計(jì)2014年中完成。 Globalfoundries CEO Ajit Manocha在一份聲明中說：“這一計(jì)劃完成后，（Globalfoundries）新加坡廠將為廣大半導(dǎo)體和集成設(shè)備客戶提供最廣泛的技術(shù)和最佳選擇?！? 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載 編譯：Luffy Liu 參考英文原文：Globalfoundries cuts jobs in Singapore, by Peter Clarke

{pagination} Globalfoundries cuts jobs in Singapore Peter Clarke LONDON – Despite long term plans for expansion in Singapore, foundry chip maker Globalfoundries said that it is cutting 300 jobs there due to a "softening of the current macro-economic climate." The cuts represent about 4 percent of Globalfoundries' Singapore employee base, the company said. They were announced at the same time as Globalfoundries Inc. (Milpitas, Calif.) said it was embarking on a long-term initiative to expand 300-mm manufacturing capacity in Singapore. The initiative is called "Vision 2015" but the company did not provide a budget for the project. Globalfoundries said it intends to tune the Singapore mix of existing and new process technologies to better serve growth markets and to position Globalfoundries as a partner to companies that need advanced analog, digital, high-voltage and RF functionality. The initial phase of the plan will include a capacity expansion of Fab 7 300-mm facility to be on a trajectory of nearly 1 million wafers per year. The expansion is expected to be completed by the middle of 2014. "When this initiative is completed, Singapore will provide the widest range of technologies and the best choice for a broad base of semiconductor and integrated device customers," Ajit Manocha, CEO of Globalfoundries, said in a statement.
