Strategic Investments and Government Initiatives Accelerating Glass Substrate Innovation

  • In July 2024, Samsung and SK Hynix invested heavily in glass substrates for AI chips, a step to push forward semiconductor technology. Glass substrates have the benefits of a smoother surface, no interposer requirement, and better performance. The application is an important milestone in the production of semiconductors, as there is growing demand for high-power and low-consumption AI chips. Glass substrates also provide quicker processing and reduced power consumption.
  • In May 2024, the US Department of Commerce and Absolics announced a $75 million investment from the CHIPS and Science Act to aid in building Absolics' manufacturing site in Covington, Georgia, and advancing the commercialization of their innovative semiconductor material. This marks the inaugural CHIPS investment in a commercial facility dedicated to semiconductor materials and manufacturing equipment.
