• Silicon Box’s Specialization: Silicon Box specializes in advanced semiconductor packaging and chiplet integration services. Founded in 2021 by Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Weili Dai, and Dr. Byung Joon (BJ) Han, the company's innovative approach to chiplet integration has already made a significant impact.

• Chiplet Approach: The firm's chiplet architecture enables designers to overcome the constraints of a single, monolithic chip for processing. This approach allows for dramatically better performance, smaller device sizes, and better device reliability.

• Industry Impact: Silicon Box’s approach to chiplet design and manufacturing sets a new industry standard. Their processes are reliable, cost-effective, and promote industry-wide collaboration.

Silicon Box's expansion plans for its Singapore factory are a testament to its commitment to address the severe shortage in advanced packaging solutions and bring AI accelerator solutions to the masses.
