Overview
Advanced semiconductor packaging technologies integrate processors, memory, and other components into high-performance computing systems. Industry estimates place the 2026 market between roughly $37-57 billion, with TSMC scaling CoWoS production toward a projected 130,000 wafers/month by end of 2026 — NVIDIA alone consuming roughly 60% of that allocation.
Strategic Connections
- ASE Technology: Advanced packaging capacity is increasingly supplied by outsourced assembly and test providers like ASE, absorbing overflow demand TSMC's own capacity cannot meet.
- AT&S: AT&S supplies high-density IC substrates that feed directly into advanced packaging flows, expanding AI-focused substrate capacity at its Kulim, Malaysia plant.
- Kinsus Interconnect Technology: Kinsus supplies high-end ABF IC substrates used in advanced chip packaging, expanding capacity on a tight multi-year demand outlook.
- Unisem: Unisem provides outsourced assembly, test and advanced-packaging capacity, including wafer bumping, benefiting from AI-era demand.
- Malaysian Pacific Industries: MPI provides outsourced assembly and test services including power-module packaging for high-voltage AI server power delivery.
