Siliconware Precision Industries Co (SPIL, 矽品精密) commenced construction yesterday of a new NT$100 billion (US$3.1 billion) chip-packaging plant in Yunlin County’s Douliou City (斗六) to scale up capacity amid artificial intelligence (AI)-driven supply bottlenecks.The Taichung-based company plans to offer advanced chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) packaging services at the new plant after it begins first-phase operations in 2028, SPIL vice chairman Chang Yen-chun (張衍鈞) said in a statement. It would be a new growth engine for SPIL and allow the company to play an indispensable role in the global AI supply chains, Chang said.
