TSMC-Amkor deal will help boost Arizona Apple chip production


TSMC is expanding the capabilities of its chip plant in Arizona by partnering with the US-based Amkor Technology to add advanced packaging and test capabilities. The move will result in more US-based Apple chip production in the future.

On Thursday, Amkor and TSMC said they had signed a memorandum of understanding to "collaborate and bring advanced packaging and test capabilities to Arizona." Under the agreement, Amkor will be contracted to provide turnkey advanced packaging and test services to the Arizona TSMC plant. The two companies working together was practically a foregone conclusion, since Apple and Amkor announced a packaging facility was going to be built very close to TSMC's foundry in 2023.
