ASE Technology Holding (ASX): Who It Depends On

ASE Technology is the world's largest outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) provider - the company that takes finished chip dies from foundries like TSMC and turns them into the packaged, tested products that ship to customers. Its own business depends on specialist test and substrate equipment suppliers, while its revenue is concentrated among the fabless chip designers who don't run their own packaging lines.
