(Reuters) – Amkor Technology said Thursday it will spend $2 billion to build a new advanced semiconductor packaging and test facility in Arizona that will package and test chips for Apple produced at a nearby TSMC facility.
Amkor will provide advanced packaging and testing of semiconductors to support high-performance computing, automotive, and communications. Amkor said when the new facility opens, Apple will be its first and largest customer. Apple separately confirmed its expanded partnership with Amkor.
