Key Terms

advanced packaging technical
Advanced packaging describes modern methods for arranging, connecting and enclosing semiconductor chips so they work together more efficiently in a smaller space—think of stacking and wiring tiny electronic building blocks instead of leaving them as separate items on a circuit board. It matters to investors because these techniques can boost product speed, reduce power use, shrink device size and lower manufacturing costs, all of which influence a maker’s competitiveness, profit margins and market share.
high-density interconnects technical
A high-density interconnect (HDI) is a printed circuit board (PCB) technology that packs more electrical connections into a smaller area by using finer traces, microvias, and multiple thin layers. It’s like building a multi-level, finely spaced highway for electrical signals so chips can be smaller and faster. For investors, HDI matters because it enables more compact, higher-performance electronic products, affects manufacturing complexity and cost, and influences supply-chain and profit margins for electronics makers.
heterogeneous integration technical
Heterogeneous integration is the practice of combining different types of electronic components — such as processors, memory, sensors and specialized chips — into a single package or tightly linked module, rather than building everything on one uniform chip. Like putting varied ingredients into one compact lunchbox to save space and improve function, it matters to investors because it can boost product performance, lower power use, shorten development time and create competitive or cost advantages that affect revenue and margins.
osat technical
OSAT stands for outsourced semiconductor assembly and test — specialist companies that take finished silicon wafers and perform the “finishing” work: cutting, packaging and testing chips so they can be used in devices. Investors watch OSATs because their sales and profit margins track overall demand for chips and the health of the electronics supply chain; they act like toll booths that reveal upstream chip production trends, customer concentration risks, and bottlenecks that can affect many tech companies.

$1.5 Billion Multi-Year Advanced Packaging and Development Agreement to Support Expansion of Amkor’s U.S. Advanced Packaging Capacity

TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Amkor Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR) today announced a multi-year strategic partnership with NVIDIA to develop advanced semiconductor packaging and test technologies for next-generation AI and accelerated computing platforms. Under the agreement, NVIDIA will provide a prepayment to support the expansion of Amkor’s U.S. advanced packaging capacity.

Advanced packaging enables the performance, energy efficiency and system-level integration required for AI infrastructure. NVIDIA and Amkor will align their long-term roadmaps to advance technologies including high-density interconnects and next-generation heterogeneous integration.

Amkor has delivered advanced packaging solutions that support the performance and reliability of NVIDIA platforms across a broad product portfolio, including data center processors, networking chipsets and next generation accelerated computing systems. This expanded collaboration will bring new technologies to market at scale as demand for AI infrastructure grows.

The partnership also reflects a shared commitment to expanding full turnkey advanced packaging and test capabilities in the United States, strengthening domestic semiconductor manufacturing and supply-chain resilience for AI infrastructure. NVIDIA’s capacity agreement supports Amkor’s expansion of U.S. capacity in Arizona, complementing the company’s established manufacturing footprint across Asia, to create a geographically diverse and resilient global supply chain.

“AI is driving a generational shift in technology, transforming every industry and creating a unique opportunity to reinvigorate American manufacturing and supply chains,” said Debora Shoquist, Executive Vice President of Operations at NVIDIA. “Amkor’s global capabilities, combined with their committed investment in the United States, are critical components of building resilient AI infrastructure and accelerating next-generation technologies.”

“This strategic partnership with NVIDIA underscores the central role advanced packaging plays in enabling the future of AI,” said Kevin Engel, chief executive officer of Amkor Technology. “Our agreement with NVIDIA accelerates our long-term roadmap and supports our ability to deliver full turnkey advanced packaging and test solutions, leveraging our global footprint while expanding U.S. capabilities to support critical AI infrastructure.”

Spanning Asia and the United States, the NVIDIA–Amkor collaboration aligns technology development and capacity expansion to support the continued evolution of AI platforms.
