Apple’s current M1 silicon is used in its range of MacBooks, Macs, and iPads, so the company needs quite a few of those chips. By extension, this means that anyone entering Apple’s M1 chip supply chain is ready for some serious financial gains.
Samsung is one of those suppliers for Apple and is producing FC-BGA substrates which are critical for modern high-density chips with circuit connections. Of course, the Korean tech giant also wants to participate in the production of M2 chips.
The so-called Samsung Electro-Mechanics arm is close enough to conclude a deal with Apple to produce the same FC-BGA substrates for the upcoming M2 chip. This report coincides with recent reports from Samsung that it has invested over $ 1 billion in building an FC-BGA manufacturing facility in Vietnam and has invested over $ 241 million more in an existing factory in South Korea.
