OKI Circuit Technology has created new 124-layer printed circuit boards for testing equipment used with next-generation memory chips in AI systems. The company added about 15 percent more layers compared to the standard 108-layer designs. They plan to start mass production at their Joetsu Plant in Japan around October 2025. This factory already makes complex, precise circuit boards for testing computer chips.
AI systems need to move massive amounts of data between graphics processors and memory. As chips become more powerful, they require faster memory that can handle more information. High bandwidth memory uses stacked chips, which must be made thinner with greater precision. The testing equipment for these parts needs better circuit...
