[News] NVIDIA Rubin Ultra and Feynman Reportedly to Boost TSMC SoIC; Besi, Applied Materials, TEL to Benefit

What happened

TSMC plans to build SoIC capacity of 10k-15k wafers/month by 2026, with further expansion from 2027 driven by NVIDIA's Rubin Ultra and Feynman architectures. SoIC requires high capex (~$6.8-7.0B per 10k wafers) and relies on front-end hybrid bonding equipment. Bullish: This signals sustained, high-value demand for advanced packaging equipment suppliers.
