Samsung Electro-Mechanics expands into AI chip market with silicon capacitors supply to Marvell Technology.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics has commenced production and supply of silicon capacitors to Marvell Technology, a leading U.S.-based semiconductor company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) chip solutions.
Production began in the first quarter of 2025, with the first batch of silicon capacitors now successfully delivered to Marvell, positioning Samsung as a significant contender in the competitive AI chip market, traditionally dominated by Nvidia.
Silicon capacitors, integral components in modern electronics, ensure stable power delivery and efficient signal transmission within computer chips. Constructed using advanced silicon wafer technology, these capacitors can be positioned in close proximity to the main chip, enhancing system speed and reliability—critical attributes for AI chips tasked with processing vast amounts of data swiftly and accurately.
During CES 2025, Jang Deok-hyeon, CEO of Samsung Electro-Mechanics, proudly announced that the company has secured contracts with two major clients for its silicon capacitors. Mr. Jang further outlined the company’s ambitious target to achieve over 100 billion won (approximately USD 75 million) in sales within the next one to two years.
This milestone is a key component of Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ broader technological advancement initiative. Following the introduction of the ‘Mi-RAE’ project at CES 2024, the company has been pioneering innovations across five strategic areas: silicon capacitors, all-solid-state batteries, hybrid lenses, glass substrates, and solid oxide electrolysis cells.
In addition to silicon capacitors, Samsung is set to ramp up production of glass substrates and distribute battery samples to clients within the year. The company has already commenced mass production of hybrid lenses, marking significant progress in its diversification efforts.
Through its strategic partnership with Marvell Technology, Samsung Electro-Mechanics is making significant inroads into the U.S. AI chip market. As the demand for AI-driven smart devices and high-performance computing solutions continues to escalate, this collaboration is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of AI technology, both in the U.S. and globally.
