Taiwan-based King Yuan Electronics (KYEC), a critical testing supplier for Nvidia, has secured board approval for a US$1.4 billion investment to build a new manufacturing facility in the United States.
The decision underscores the accelerating trend of semiconductor supply-chain diversification and onshoring, as major players seek to mitigate geopolitical risks and align production closer to end-market demand.
Nvidia recently announced a US$150 billion investment plan in Taiwan, which triggered a rally across semiconductor stocks and highlighted the deepening integration between chip designers and their manufacturing partners.
The investment comes amid a broader wave of capital deployment in the AI infrastructure sector.
