Who is Norm Armour?
Norm Armour, Vice President and General Manager
GLOBALFOUNDRIES
Norm Armour has overall responsibility for the development and execution of Fab 2 at the Luther Forest Technology Campus (LFTC) in Malta, New York. He will manage the site’s overall strategic direction and focus on maximizing efficiency and agility to ensure Fab 2 meets or exceeds expectations for operations and customer-service for a world-class semiconductor foundry.
Prior to GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Armour served as vice president of fab consulting at Applied Materials, where he led a team of subject matter experts who provided consulting services to customers in the areas of fab productivity/yield, factory systems, and environmental services. Before that, Armour was vice president and general manager for LSI Logic’s Gresham operations, where he successfully ramped the green field start-up into high-volume manufacturing and achieved best-in-class factory systems and metrics in cycle time, line yield, defect density, and ASIC/SOC die cost. Armour also spent six years at AMD as director of operations first at Fab 10 and then Fab 25, and participated in the initial programming of our Dresden operations.
Armour holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Southern Methodist University in Texas.
“In less than a year, GLOBALFOUNDRIES has developed the former manufacturing unit of AMD into the world’s second-largest semiconductor foundry company and the world’s first foundry with a truly global manufacturing and technology footprint. Through the recent acquisition and integration with Chartered Semiconductor of Singapore, GLOBALFOUNDRIES has grown to roughly 10,000 employees worldwide with seven fabs and operations in Europe, Asia and the United States. Norm Armour, vice president and general manager, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, is leading the company’s efforts to develop the world’s most advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility at the Luther Forest Technology Company here in Saratoga County. Construction on the $4.2 billion facility began in July 2009 and the fab is expected to begin operations in 2012. The new fab will create approximately 1,400 new local jobs and create new opportunities for our region. Armour will provide an update on construction of the new fab and give an overview of how the new facility plays a key role in the company’s global strategy.”
