Taiwan took another step in enhancing its key role in the production of advanced semiconductor chips used for artificial intelligence on Thursday with the inauguration of a new plant by Siliconware Precision Industries Co. The opening ceremony for the Tan-Ke factory in the central city of Taichung was attended by Jensen Huang, CEO and co-founder of California-based Nvidia Corp, a world leader in the design of AI chips, reinforcing the companies' partnership in the production of advanced AI chips. SPIL is a leader in semiconductor packaging and testing. The technology that we're working on is becoming more sophisticated. Chips are getting more and more complex, and the packaging technology will need to evolve as well. What's even more exciting is the integration of silicon photonics, enabling us to connect multiple packages into one massive system, Huang said. He said Nvidia's partnership with SPIL would be instrumental in pushing the boundaries of innovation in coming years. Huang
