Samsung Electro-Mechanics and NVIDIA Announce Strategic Partnership to Supply ABF
Substrates

Under the agreement, the two companies will jointly invest in expanding dedicated
manufacturing facilities for ABF package substrates used in AI semiconductors. Leveraging
the expanded production capacity, Samsung Electro-Mechanics plans to supply NVIDIA
ABF package substrates beginning in 2026.

The partnership will enable NVIDIA to proactively secure stable supply of advanced
package substrates essential for the mass production of its AI chipset, helping 
alleviate supply chain bottlenecks in the rapidly expanding global AI infrastructure
market.

For Samsung Electro-Mechanics, the agreement represents a significant opportunity
to accelerate its expansion into the high-value-added AI semiconductor package substrate
market, where technological barriers to entry are exceptionally high, while further
strengthening its competitive position in the global market.

**Dedicated Production Facilities in Sejong and Busan to Support Multi-Year Supply
of AI Processor and Networking Substrates**

To ensure the timely delivery of ABF substrates, Samsung Electro-Mechanics will 
establish dedicated production lines at its key manufacturing sites in Sejong and
Busan, South Korea.

The supply agreement covers advanced package substrates for NVIDIA’s compute chipsets,
as well as substrates for high-speed networking switches that enable ultra-fast 
chip-to-chip connectivity within data centers. Deliveries will start in 2026.

Over a multi-year period, starting in 2026, the volume of package substrates supplied
by Samsung Electro-Mechanics to NVIDIA is expected to increase at a double-digit
annual rate. By 2028, production allocated to NVIDIA is projected to account for
a significant portion of Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ total annual package substrate
production capacity.

**Advanced Packaging Technologies: Larger Substrates and Embedded Passive Components**

As package substrates become larger and incorporate more technology like embedded
devices, manufacturing complexity increases significantly. Ultra-fine circuit patterning
is essential to minimizing signal loss, while advanced warpage control and substrate
flatness technologies are critical to maintaining manufacturing yields and ensuring
long-term reliability.

In particular, next-generation AI chips require sophisticated power management solutions
to suppress electrical noise generated during ultra-high-speed computing and maximize
power efficiency. To meet these demanding requirements, advanced packaging processes
embed passive components, including multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) and silicon
capacitors, directly within the substrate structure.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics possesses advanced substrate microfabrication capabilities
designed to meet the demanding specifications of current and next-generation semiconductor
packages, supported by its world-class expertise in MLCC and silicon capacitor technologies.
By integrating these core technologies, Samsung Electro-Mechanics aims to deliver
high-performance, high-reliability package substrate solutions optimized for the
evolving requirements of AI computing infrastructure.

Duck-Hyun Chang, President and CEO of Samsung Electro-Mechanics, said, "It is a 
great honor to join NVIDIA, a global leader driving AI innovation, as a key infrastructure
partner." "By combining our advanced FC-BGA manufacturing capabilities with our 
differentiated expertise in high-reliability MLCC technologies, Samsung Electro-
Mechanics will fully leverage its strengths as a comprehensive solutions provider
to ensure that NVIDIA’s AI platforms are delivered to the market on time with the
highest levels of performance and quality," Chang added.

Debora Shoquist, executive vice president, operations of NVIDIA, said, "The pace
of the AI infrastructure buildout requires us to expand manufacturing capacity on
a global scale. Our work with Samsung Electro-Mechanics broadens our network of 
substrate partners and adds manufacturing capacity to help us scale production and
deliver the accelerated computing platforms our customers need."
