Amkor Technology, Inc. is a semiconductor product packaging and test services provider. The company has been headquartered in Arizona, since 2005, when it was moved from West Chester, Pennsylvania, also in the United States.[5] The company's Arizona headquarters was originally in Chandler,[6] then later moved to Tempe. The company was founded in 1968 and, as of 2022, has approximately 31,000 employees worldwide and a reported $7.1 billion in sales.

With factories in China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Portugal, Taiwan and Vietnam, Amkor is a major player in the semiconductor industry. It designs, packages and tests integrated circuits (ICs) for chip manufacturers.

Etymology

[edit | edit source]

Amkor self-publishes that the name "Amkor" is a portmanteau of the words "America" and "Korea".[7]

History

[edit | edit source]

Amkor's origins can be traced back to ANAM Industries, a business in Seoul dealing with imported Japanese goods, including bicycles, and founded by Hyang-Soo Kim in 1935. In March 1968, ANAM Industries underwent a transformation into ANAM Industrial Co. Ltd., becoming South Korea's first semiconductor business. One month later, his son Joo-Jin (James) Kim founded Amkor Electronics, Inc. and inaugurated its sales office in Philadelphia. Its semiconductor production and export began in 1970. In 1998, Amkor began publicly trading on Nasdaq.[7]

In 2000, Amkor acquired Integra Technologies, an Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly And Test (OSAT) provider in United States.[8] In 2005, Amkor spun off Integra Technologies.[9]

In February 2016, Amkor fully acquired J-Devices Corp, the largest Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly And Test (OSAT) provider in Japan.[10][11]

In June 2017, Amkor Technology was recognized as Supplier of the Year for 2016 by Qualcomm Technologies for a second consecutive year.[12]

Amkor Technology has competitiveness for chip assembly by thermal compression as well as wafer level packaging. In September 2018, Amkor Technology opened a manufacturing and test plant at Longtan Science Park in Taiwan.[13]

In 2019, Amkor Technology was ranked 2nd in overall revenue in the OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) market.

A $2 billion factory for advanced packaging of chips from TSMC in Arizona was announced in November 2023.[14]

Products

[edit | edit source]

Amkors designs, packages and tests semiconductors for other companies. The company's offers include RF-antenna designs incorporated directly into or onto a chip,[15] CMOS imaging sensors[16] or flip chip packaging with copper pillars bumps.[17][18] Amkor also offers wire bonding of semiconductors to packages[19] as well as a technology to prevent edge gaps and cracks on semiconductor packaging called "Edge Protection".[20][21]
