Amkor Technology Inc.'s plans to build a $2-billion semiconductor advanced packaging manufacturing plant in Peoria, Ariz., are advancing with support from the U.S. Dept. of Commerce.
The Tempe, Ariz.-based tech manufacturer announced its plans for the outsourced semiconductor assembly and test, or OSAT, facility last fall. It would be Amkor’s first OSAT in the U.S. and the largest OSAT built in the U.S. so far, according to the company.
