China's semiconductor industry could witness a potential shock, as US lawmakers are now moving towards banning the export of critical ASML equipment to the region. US Lawmakers Are Looking To Ban the Export of ASML's DUV Technology to China, Targeting Huawei, SMIC & Many Others China has been battling US export restrictions, particularly on the semiconductor front, for quite some time now, and the industry saw a massive downturn when the US administration imposed an indirect export ban on EUV equipment to China via the Netherlands' ASML. While this did prompt Beijing to bolster efforts to build a domestic chip […]

Amazon's CEO, Andy Jassy, issued a letter to shareholders about the company's custom chip business, and his words showed strong optimism about the in-house infrastructure stack. Amazon's Andy Jassy Hints Towards Selling Their Custom Silicon To External Customers, Given Their Internal Success There's no doubt that hyperscalers are experiencing what we call a 'compute crunch' today, with current infrastructure unable to meet the demand driven by AI and related services. We have seen giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta resort to custom silicon efforts as a way to address this gap in compute capabilities, but out of the bunch, Amazon's […]

Apple taps Samsung for breakthrough AI chip material

Samsung Electro-Mechanics has been supplying glass substrate samples to Apple since last year and the AI chip industry is paying attention.

TheElec sources confirmed this week that Samsung’s advanced packaging division has been feeding Apple experimental substrate materials, the kind that replace the organic core inside traditional flip chip-ball grid array packaging with glass.

Apple’s AI server chip is being developed with Broadcom and is expected to be manufactured at TSMC. Samsung Electro-Mechanics is running a pilot glass substrate line, while mass production isn’t targeted until after 2027.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics has been running glass substrate trials with Broadcom since last year too. Broadcom sits at the center of the custom AI chip market, co-designing silicon with Google, Meta, OpenAI, and now Apple.

If Samsung locks in Broadcom as a customer, those substrates could end up inside chips built for half of Silicon Valley. But Apple coming directly to Samsung changes the texture of this story.

Apple has a documented habit of bringing things in-house. That said, the Cupertino giant doesn’t rely on a partner, study the space intensely, then quietly build the capability internally and cut the partner out.
