The supplied coverage describes advanced packaging as an important pressure point as AI chip demand grows. One article highlights equipment makers Aehr Test Systems and Cohu, while other reports point to capacity investment and international collaboration.

A centre-side article says AI and data-centre demand is feeding demand for Aehr Test Systems’ wafer- and package-level burn-in tools; it reports a backlog of about US$100.6 million and a fiscal 2027 revenue outlook of US$130 million to US$150 million.
The same article describes Cohu’s test and inspection equipment as relevant to AI infrastructure and high-performance computing, including GPUs and high-bandwidth memory.
Other centre-side reports describe packaging as a capacity constraint and cite investment and international collaboration in areas including packaging and AI-driven design.
A separate report says Nvidia, AMD and Taiwanese suppliers are seeking to expand advanced packaging capacity beyond TSMC.
