Samsung Electro-Mechanics secures multiyear chip substrate deal as LG Innotek develops sensing solutions for Nvidia’s robotics platforms
Samsung Electro-Mechanics and LG Innotek are expanding their ties with Nvidia, applying their expertise in semiconductor substrates and sensing technology to the US chipmaker’s growing AI computing and robotics businesses.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics announced a multiyear agreement Wednesday to supply advanced semiconductor substrates for Nvidia’s AI processors and networking chips, while LG Innotek said Thursday it was working with Nvidia to develop sensing systems for humanoid robots.
The collaborations show how Korean electronics component-makers are seeking new applications for their existing technologies as Nvidia expands both its chip manufacturing supply chain and robotics platforms.
Under the agreement, Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Nvidia will jointly invest in expanding substrate production facilities in Sejong and Busan with supplies beginning this year.
The substrates will be used in AI computing processors and high-speed networking chips for data centers. They provide electrical connections between semiconductor chips and circuit boards, making them essential to high-performance computing…
