Why Semiconductor Packaging Could Decide Who Leads the AI Race

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has announced a massive $100 billion investment in the U.S., marking the largest foreign investment ever made in the country. The move has attracted global attention and stirred conversation back in Taiwan, where the company is a national icon.

TSMC is responsible for producing the majority of the world’s high-end semiconductor chips, essential for everything from smartphones to AI systems and military hardware. With its new plan, TSMC will establish two advanced chip-packaging plants in Arizona, reinforcing the U.S. position in the global tech race.

As AI adoption surges, the demand for more powerful and efficient chips has exploded. This has placed a spotlight on advanced packaging—a method of assembling chips that boosts performance by placing different chip types like CPUs, GPUs, and memory modules much closer together. This proximity enhances data flow, increases processing speed, and cuts down power usage.

According to experts like Dan Nystedt from investment firm TrioOrient, the closer and more efficiently these chips are linked, the better the overall computing power. This design approach helps sustain Moore’s Law—the long-held theory that computing power doubles every two years—at a time when progress in chip manufacturing has become more expensive and complex.

Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, has openly praised the importance of advanced packaging, calling it crucial for future computing. He noted that the industry’s capacity for advanced packaging has multiplied in recent years to meet exploding demand.

A standout method in this field is CoWoS (Chips-on-Wafer-on-Substrate), developed by TSMC. It gained massive attention after the rise of AI platforms like ChatGPT, which require immense computing power. The demand for CoWoS is now so high that TSMC is racing to increase capacity, with production levels four times higher than they were just two years ago.

Building these capabilities in Arizona is a strategic move. It helps the U.S. establish a full chip manufacturing pipeline—from production to packaging—on domestic soil, minimizing risks tied to global supply chains. Analysts argue this gives the U.S. a stronger position in the AI race and supports key players like AMD, Apple, Qualcomm, Nvidia, and Broadcom.

With AI continuing to evolve at a rapid pace, advanced packaging has moved from the sidelines to center stage in the semiconductor world. Companies like Intel, Samsung, and OSAT companies, including Amkor, ASE Group, and JCET, are also advancing their roles in this sector.

As advancements are made in semiconductor packaging, several downstream firms like Thumzup Media Corp. (NASDAQ: TZUP) are bound to have access to more powerful software systems to supercharge the solutions that they offer to their clients.
