Joint effort enhances the performance and reliability of
next-generation data centers with cutting-edge substrate
technology
SEOUL,
South Korea, July 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Samsung
Electro-Mechanics (SEMCO) today announced a
collaboration with AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) to supply
high-performance substrates for hyperscale data center compute
applications These substrates are made in SEMCO's key the
technology hub in Busan and the
newly built state of the art factory in Vietnam.
Market research firm Prismark predicts that the semiconductor
substrate market will grow at an average annual rate of about 7%,
increasing from 15.2 trillion KRW in
2024 to 20 trillion KRW in 2028.
SEMCO's substantial investment of 1.9
trillion KRW in the FCBGA factory underscores its
commitment to advancing substrate technology and manufacturing
capabilities to meet the highest industry standards and the future
technology needs.
SEMCO's collaboration with AMD focuses on meeting the unique
challenges of integrating multiple semiconductor chips (Chiplets)
on a single large substrate. These high-performance substrates,
essential for CPU/GPU applications, offer significantly larger
surface areas and higher layer counts, providing the dense
interconnections required for today's advanced data centers.
Compared to standard computer substrates, data center substrates
are ten times larger and feature three times more layers, ensuring
efficient power delivery and lossless signal integrity between
chips. Addressing these challenges, SEMCO's innovative
manufacturing processes mitigate issues like warpage to ensure high
yields during chip mounting.
SEMCO's FCBGA factory is equipped with advanced real-time data
collection and modeling capabilities, enabling SEMCO to develop
predictive manufacturing models that ensure signal, power, and
mechanical integrity. This state-of-the-art facility positions
SEMCO as a leader in the production of embedded substrates with
both passive (capacitor and inductor) and active (integrated
circuit) components, meeting the forward-looking needs of
next-generation data centers.
"We are honored to be a strategic partner with AMD, a global
leader in high-performance computing and AI semiconductor
solutions," said Kim Wontaek, Executive Vice President of the
Strategic Marketing Center at Samsung Electro-Mechanics. "Our
continued investment in advanced substrate solutions will provide
key value to customers like AMD, addressing the evolving demands of
data centers and other compute-intensive applications ranging from
AI to automotive systems." "At AMD, we are always
pushing the edge of innovation to meet the performance and
efficiency needs of our customers," says Scott Aylor, Corporate VP of Global Operation
Manufacturing Strategy at AMD. "Our leadership in chiplet
technologies has enabled AMD to deliver leadership performance,
efficiency, and flexibility across our CPU and data center GPU
portfolio. Continued investments with partners such as SEMCO
highlight the work we are doing to ensure we have the advanced
substrate technologies and capacity we need to deliver future
generations of high-performance computing and AI products."
