Vanguard adjusting new fab plans

Foundry service provider Vanguard International Semiconductor Corp (世界先進) yesterday said it is adjusting its product portfolio for its new 12-inch fab in Singapore to meet a customer’s demand for interposers used in advanced packaging technology for artificial intelligence (AI) chips.

Vanguard said it would license and transfer related technologies from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) and manufacturing equipment supplied by the customer to produce interposers on 30-nanometer and 40-nanometer technologies at the fab.
