- Simmtech于9月2日与忠清北道及清州市签署MOU，扩建半导体PCB生产基地。
- 公司计划分阶段投资总计4000亿韩元，用于扩大AI服务器用下一代基板产能。
- 新生产设施将建于清州市兴德区玉山面16,529平方米场地及现有清州工厂闲置空间，新建建筑面积11,349平方米。
- 公司将建设SOCAMM基板专用工厂，SOCAMM是用于Nvidia下一代Vera Rubin平台的Vera CPU的内存模块，包含四个LPDDR5X封装。
- 董事会于8月25日批准2742亿韩元新设施投资，其中1459亿韩元用于SOCAMM模块PCB，1051亿韩元用于高多层mSAP基板，232亿韩元用于系统IC半导体基板。
- 一期完成后，SOCAMM模块年产能（按营收计）将从3000亿韩元增至5000亿韩元，半导体封装基板年产能将增加约2500亿韩元，合计增加约4500亿韩元；新产线预计2028年起陆续投产。
供应链影响
- AI服务器基板供应可能增加，取决于投资按计划完成及市场需求。
- Nvidia Vera Rubin平台相关供应链可能获得更稳定的基板供应，取决于SOCAMM基板量产进度。
- 高多层mSAP基板产能扩张可能影响高端PCB市场供需平衡，取决于其他厂商扩产情况。
- 系统IC基板产能增加可能支持更广泛的半导体封装需求，取决于下游应用增长。
- 新增产能从2028年起逐步释放，可能缓解届时AI基板供应紧张，但取决于实际投产时间。

Simmtech于9月2日与忠清北道及清州市签署谅解备忘录（MOU），以扩建其半导体印刷电路板（PCB）生产基地。公司将分阶段投资总计4000亿韩元，用于扩大人工智能（AI）服务器用下一代基板的产能。
新生产设施将建在清州市兴德区玉山面一块16,529平方米的场地上，以及其现有清州工厂的闲置空间。新场地将建设包括生产和办公设施在内的新建筑，总建筑面积为11,349平方米。
Simmtech将建设一座专用于小型压缩附着内存模块（SOCAMM）基板的工厂，SOCAMM是AI服务器用下一代内存模块。SOCAMM是用于Nvidia下一代Vera Rubin AI加速器平台中Vera中央处理器（CPU）的内存模块，包含四个LPDDR5X封装。
公司还将扩大用于SOCAMM中安装的低功耗DRAM（LPDDR5X）的多芯片封装（MCP）基板产能。它将增加高多层改良半加成工艺（mSAP）基板以及系统集成电路（IC）用半导体基板的产能。mSAP是一种PCB制造工艺，在绝缘层上形成薄铜层，然后通过电镀形成电路。与传统电路形成方法相比，它能够实现更精细的布线，并用于高密度、多层基板。
Simmtech董事会于8月25日批准了2742亿韩元的新设施投资，投资计划持续至2027年12月。公司将投资1459亿韩元用于扩大SOCAMM模块PCB产能，1051亿韩元用于高多层mSAP基板，232亿韩元用于系统IC半导体基板。
一期完成后，SOCAMM模块的年产能（按营收计）将从3000亿韩元增加到5000亿韩元。公司还将增加约2500亿韩元的半导体封装基板年产能，包括MCP基板。合计来看，SOCAMM模块PCB和半导体封装基板的年产能将增加约4500亿韩元。新生产线计划从2028年起陆续投产。Simmtech还将新雇用100名员工。
“我们基于与忠清北道和清州市的紧密合作，推进新场地工厂的扩建，这具有重要意义，”Simmtech首席执行官Kim Young-koo表示。“通过这项大规模投资，我们将确保技术优势并加强市场地位，同时作为扎根于忠清北道的企业，在招聘本地人才方面发挥带头作用。”

Simmtech signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with North Chungcheong Province and Cheongju City on Sept. 2 to expand its production base for semiconductor printed circuit boards (PCBs). The company will invest a total of 400 billion won in phases to expand production capacity for next-generation substrates used in artificial intelligence (AI) servers.
The new production facilities will be built on a 16,529-square-meter site in Oksan-myeon, Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju, as well as in unused space at its existing Cheongju plant. New buildings, including production and office facilities, with a combined floor area of 11,349 square meters will be constructed on the new site.
Simmtech will build a dedicated plant for small outline compression attached memory module (SOCAMM) substrates, a next-generation memory module for AI servers. SOCAMM is a memory module for the Vera central processing unit (CPU) used in Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin AI accelerator platform. It contains four LPDDR5X packages.
The company will also expand production capacity for multichip package (MCP) substrates used for low-power DRAM (LPDDR5X) installed in SOCAMM. It will increase capacity for high-layer-count modified semi-additive process (mSAP) substrates and semiconductor substrates for system integrated circuits (ICs). mSAP is a PCB manufacturing process that forms a thin copper layer on an insulating layer and then creates circuits through plating. It enables finer wiring than conventional circuit-forming methods and is used for high-density, multilayer substrates.
Simmtech's board approved 274.2 billion won in new facility investment on Aug. 25, with the investment scheduled through December 2027. The company will invest 145.9 billion won to expand SOCAMM module PCB production capacity, 105.1 billion won in high-layer-count mSAP substrates and 23.2 billion won in semiconductor substrates for system ICs.
Once the first phase is completed, annual SOCAMM module production capacity, measured by revenue, will increase to 500 billion won from 300 billion won. The company will also add about 250 billion won in annual production capacity for semiconductor package substrates, including MCP substrates. Combined, annual production capacity for SOCAMM module PCBs and semiconductor package substrates will increase by about 450 billion won. The new production lines are scheduled to begin operations sequentially from 2028. Simmtech will also hire 100 new employees.
"It is significant that we are moving forward with the expansion of a plant on the new site based on close cooperation with North Chungcheong Province and Cheongju City," Simmtech CEO Kim Young-koo said. "Through this large-scale investment, we will secure technological superiority and strengthen our market position, while also taking the lead in hiring local talent as a company rooted in North Chungcheong Province."
