TSMC and Amkor Forge Partnership to Boost U.S. Chip Packaging
The collaboration aims to enhance semiconductor manufacturing in Arizona, aligning with the CHIPS Act's goals.
- TSMC and Amkor Technology have signed a memorandum of understanding to establish an advanced chip packaging facility in Peoria, Arizona.
- This initiative is part of a broader effort to strengthen the U.S. semiconductor supply chain and reduce dependency on foreign production.
- The advanced packaging techniques, such as TSMC's Integrated Fan-Out and Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate, will support high-performance computing and communications markets.
- Apple is set to benefit from this development, with Amkor investing $2 billion and planning to employ over 2,000 people at the new facility.
- The partnership reflects TSMC's commitment to expanding its U.S. presence, supported by the CHIPS Act's $52 billion investment in domestic semiconductor infrastructure.
