ASE Technology Stock Price, News & Analysis

ASE has unveiled its new Fan-Out Chip-on-Substrate-Bridge (FOCoS-Bridge) with Through Silicon Via (TSV) technology, designed for next-generation AI and HPC applications. This advancement in ASE's VIPack™ portfolio delivers significant performance improvements, including a 72% reduction in resistance and 50% reduction in inductance compared to traditional FOCoS-Bridge technology. The innovation was demonstrated using an 85mm x 85mm test vehicle featuring two fan-out modules, each containing one ASIC chip and four HBM3 chips interconnected with four TSV bridge chips and 10 integrated passive device chips. The technology creates a shorter delivery path through TSV, enabling higher I/O density and enhanced thermal dissipation, making it particularly valuable for chiplet and high-bandwidth memory integration.

ASE has unveiled a groundbreaking co-packaged optics (CPO) device that directly mounts optical engines onto a substrate, achieving <5pJ/bit power consumption and significant bandwidth improvements. This innovation addresses critical data center challenges amid surging AI demands. The CPO technology demonstrates substantial efficiency gains compared to current solutions, reducing power consumption from 30pJ/bit (faceplate-pluggable) and 20pJ/bit (on-board) to less than 5pJ/bit. According to IDC, AI silicon in data centers will see 24.9% CAGR from 2024-2028. The technology enables shorter electrical paths, lower insertion loss, and improved power efficiency in packages >75mm X 75mm. McKinsey projects data center capacity demand to grow at 27% CAGR from 2023-2030, reaching 298 GigaWatts, up from current 60 GW.

ASE (NYSE: ASX) has unveiled a groundbreaking co-packaged optics (CPO) device that significantly improves energy efficiency for AI applications. The device mounts multiple optical engines directly onto a substrate, achieving power consumption of less than 5pJ/bit and substantial bandwidth improvements.

The innovation addresses critical data center challenges by enhancing latency, data throughput, and scalability. Compared to current faceplate-pluggable solutions at 30pJ/bit and on-board solutions at 20pJ/bit, ASE's CPO scales to less than 5pJ/bit. The technology solves the assembly challenge of multiple optical engines with an ASIC in an integrated package with a large body configuration of >75mm X 75mm.

This development is particularly timely as IDC projects AI silicon in data centers to grow at 24.9% CAGR from 2024 to 2028, while McKinsey forecasts data center capacity demand to rise at 27% CAGR from 2023 to 2030, reaching 298 GigaWatts annually.
