AT&S, a global supplier of integrated circuit (IC) substrates, has opened a new plant in Malaysia as part of its strategy to meet the surging demand for AI chips.
The facility, located in the Malaysian manufacturing hub, is designed to boost the company’s capacity to produce the high‑tech base layers that form the foundation of advanced AI processors.
CEO Michael Mertin said that IC substrates are becoming increasingly critical as AI demand grows and manufacturers race to add production capacity.
IC substrates are the specialised layers that support the complex circuitry of AI chips, enabling the high performance required by modern artificial‑intelligence applications.
AT&S’s expansion reflects a wider trend in the semiconductor industry, where firms are scaling up production to keep pace with the rapid growth of AI technology worldwide.
