CoWoS is TSMC’s advanced packaging family that joins a compute die to HBM. No package slot, no shippable AI module.
What it is: Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate packaging that attaches high-bandwidth memory to accelerators.
Who does it: TSMC leads CoWoS-class capacity; OSAT peers add related advanced packaging.
Where it binds: Packaging slots and tools — often the finish-line gate after the die is printed.
