Nvidia has signed a $1.5 billion agreement with Amkor Technology to expand chip packaging capacity in the United States. The deal supports Nvidia's strategy to strengthen domestic semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure.

The partnership bolsters Amkor's facilities as part of Nvidia's broader effort to scale up semiconductor operations within the US. Chip packaging—the process of encasing semiconductor dies in protective materials—represents a critical step in the manufacturing pipeline. Amkor Technology is one of the world's largest independent providers of semiconductor packaging and test services. The investment reflects growing industry focus on reducing reliance on overseas manufacturing and building resilient supply chains. The deal aligns with US government initiatives to strengthen domestic chip production capabilities. Nvidia has faced supply constraints in recent years, and expanding packaging capacity helps address production bottlenecks. The agreement underscores mounting competition among chipmakers to secure reliable manufacturing partners. Nvidia's commitment to Amkor strengthens the company's ability to meet surging demand for its AI and data center processors.
