  "account": "Nvidia, a leading U.S. chip manufacturer, has announced the addition of Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co., a South Korean subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, to its semiconductor substrate supply chain. This strategic move is part of Nvidia's efforts to expand its manufacturing capacity. Samsung Electro-Mechanics will initially contribute production capacity from its existing facilities in South Korea, with plans to upgrade current facilities and construct new factories in Sejong and Busan. By 2028, a substantial portion of Nvidia's total annual package substrate production capacity is expected to be allocated to this collaboration. Additionally, Samsung Electro-Mechanics has separately announced a multiyear agreement starting in 2026 to supply Nvidia with package substrates for AI semiconductors, positioning the partnership as a key element in strengthening the global AI semiconductor supply chain.",
