DigiTimes reported on May 11 that Taiwan's outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) industry is entering a record expansion phase to capture advanced AI chip packaging and testing work. Capacity is being added specifically for high-bandwidth memory stacks and CoWoS-class AI accelerators.
Key Points
OSAT capex pivoting from mobile to AI accelerator packaging.
Advanced packaging (CoWoS, SoIC) is the bottleneck for AI chip supply.
Taiwan suppliers expect record revenue in 2026 on AI demand.
Why It Matters
Advanced packaging — not silicon wafers — is the gating step for AI chip supply, and Taiwan's expansion signals continued AI hardware tightness through 2026.
