Artificial intelligence (AI) chip maker NVIDIA's 2nd quarter financial report and 3rd quarter financial forecast both surprised the market, mainly due to the substantial growth of AI-related data center business. The CoWoS advanced packaging production capacity is in short supply. It points out that the production capacity of other suppliers has been developed and certified in the key process. It is expected that the production capacity will gradually increase in the next few quarters; South Korea also feels the importance of the advanced packaging strategy in terms of production capacity related to advanced packaging CoWoS, and is rushing to catch up.
South Korea is catching up
The semiconductor industry pointed out that the development of generative AI is faster than expected, so that the production capacity of advanced packaging cannot keep up with the demand. Under the situation of short supply, TSMC has outsourced part of the production capacity. As a result, UMC (2303) has strategically cooperated with Siliconware, and Amkor's Korean factory has also joined the ranks of supply capacity.The legal person pointed out that due to the lack of equipment, TSMC will only increase its monthly production capacity of CoWoS advanced packaging from 10,000 pieces to a maximum of 12,000 pieces by the end of this year, and the monthly production capacity of CoWoS of other suppliers can increase to 3,000 pieces. To 25,000 pieces, other suppliers can increase to 5,000 pieces.
Korean media reported that Samsung is also actively developing advanced packaging technology and intends to grab orders from Huida; the South Korean government is also aware of the strategic importance of semiconductor packaging technology and is launching a major packaging technology research and development project. It is hoped that within 5 to 7 years, The field of advanced packaging has caught up with TSMC and other international giants, including TSMC, Amkor of the United States, and China Changdian Technology Group.

CoWoS® platform provides best-in-breed performance and highest integration density for high performance computing applications. This wafer level system integration platform offers wide range of interposer sizes, number of HBM cubes, and package sizes. It can enable larger than 2X-reticle size (or ~1,700mm2) interposer integrating leading SoC chips with more than four HBM2/HBM2E cubes.
