IBM, Canada and Quebec to Strengthen Canada’s Semiconductor Industry – Assembly Magazine
BROMONT, QC—IBM, Canada and Quebec will invest 187 million Canadian dollars ($139.6 million) to expand assembly, testing and packaging capabilities at the company’s semiconductor manufacturing facility here.
The semiconductor modules produced at the facility are used across a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, high-performance computing, automotive, aerospace and defense, computer networks, and generative AI.
“Today’s announcement is a massive win for Canada and our dynamic tech sector. It will create high-paying jobs, invest in innovation, strengthen supply chains, and help make sure the most advanced technologies are Canadian-made. Semiconductors power the world, and we’re putting Canada at the forefront of that opportunity,” says Justin Trudeau, prime minister of Canada.
In addition, IBM will be researching and developing methods for scalable manufacturing and other advanced assembly processes to support the packaging of different chip technologies, to further Canada’s role in the North American semiconductor supply chain and expand and anchor Canada’s capabilities in advanced packaging.
The agreements allow for collaborations with small and medium-sized Canadian enterprises, with the intent of fostering the development of a semiconductor ecosystem, now and into the future.
IBM’s Bromont plant is one of North America’s largest chip assembly and testing facilities, having operated in the region for 52 years. Today, the facility transforms advanced semiconductor components into state-of-the-art microelectronic components.
