AI substrate shortages easing, but equipment now the bottleneck

IC substrate makers report that shortages of materials used for AI-related substrates are easing as new capacity comes online, according to DigiTimes Asia. However, expansion plans are increasingly held back by limited access to advanced manufacturing equipment, with long lead times on machinery constraining how quickly substrate capacity can be scaled to meet AI demand.
Why now: AI hardware supply chains remain a hot topic, and a shift in the bottleneck from materials to equipment signals changing dynamics for chip packaging capacity.
