Quality Innovation Powering AI: ZEISS Makes COMPUTEX Forum Debut
ZEISS, a global leader in optics and optoelectronics, will bring the quality discussion to the official COMPUTEX 2026 Forum stage for the first time this year, highlighting the growing role of quality in scaling AI hardware.As demand for AI infrastructure accelerates, quality is shifting from a manufacturing support function to a direct driver of performance, yield and delivery readiness. While public attention often centers on AI models, ZEISS says reliable hardware execution is becoming a decisive factor in AI deployment.Behind every AI interaction are massive data centers powered by thousands of GPUs. As systems scale from chip to rack, defects in semiconductor packaging, printed circuit boards (PCB/A), cooling systems and high-speed interconnects can affect uptime, deployment speed and total cost."With compute demand surging, manufacturers face record orders, but the challenge is delivering at scale with consistent quality," said Clive Yen, Global Head of Electronics Customer Segment, ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions. "As systems grow more complex, quality becomes critical to reliable deployment. This is why we work across Taiwan's ODM ecosystem and the full AI server value chain to enable consistent, scalable quality.""At scale, even small defects can become major bottlenecks," said Tonmoy Kundu, Global Head of Sales, ZEISS Research Microscopy Solutions. "Manufacturers need faster insight, tighter process control and trusted failure analysis to accelerate next-generation AI hardware."ZEISS says it offers one of the industry's most comprehensive quality portfolios across the AI hardware value chain, supporting customers from semiconductor packaging and PCB inspection to liquid cooling, optical connectivity and final rack integration.At the forum, ZEISS will showcase solutions for advanced high-bandwidth memory (HBM), where rising stack heights and shrinking interconnect dimensions require high-resolution, non-destructive inspection and deep defect analysis.The company will also present metrology solutions for co-packaged optics (CPO), where ultra-tight tolerances for FAU and MPO connectors are essential to maintain alignment, coupling efficiency and long-term transmission reliability in 51.2T+ networks.At the exhibition hall (Booth J1109 | TaiNEX Hall 1, Taipei), ZEISS will showcase technologies spanning wafer process control, advanced packaging, X-ray inspection, electron microscopy, light and digital microscopy, and coordinate measuring machines. Applications will focus on chip manufacturing, PCB reliability, thermal management systems, connector quality and L10-L11 rack mechanical parts assembly.COMPUTEX 2026 runs June 2-5 in Taipei, where ZEISS will position quality as a foundational enabler of the next wave of AI growth. ZEISS will speak at the official COMPUTEX 2026 Forum on June 4, 4:30 p.m. to 4:55 p.m. at TaiNEX 2, Room 701, presenting "Quality Innovation Across the AI Chip-to-Rack Stack." The session will feature Tonmoy Kundu and Clive Yen.

SK hynix unveils 'iHBM' thermal solution to boost AI performance
SK hynix Inc. (or "the company", www.skhynix.com) announced today the launch of the iHBM solution that embeds integrated cooling elements(ICEs) within the high-bandwidth memory(HBM) package for next-generation HBM products.Heat management has become a critical challenge as HBM technology advances with higher stacking and faster speeds to cater to the surging demand for AI data processing.The efficient management of power density in the Die-to-Die Physical Layer (D2D PHY) - the interface connecting HBM and GPU - has emerged as a key factor defining the competitiveness of next-generation HBM.With the iHBM solution, the company has taken a structural approach to addressing the heat management issue. Existing HBM products rely on an indirect cooling method that draws heat away through the core die. In contrast, the iHBM solution places ICEs directly in the D2D PHY area where heat concentration is the highest, creating an additional 'heat dissipation path'. This latest heat management solution helps reduce thermal resistance by 30% and enables chips to operate stably even in high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.The company's mass-production capabilities also serves as a key advantage. SK hynix's Wafer Level Packaging(WLP) process, based on its market-proven Mass Reflow Molded Underfill(MR-MUF) technology, enables stable high-volume production of iHBM-equipped chips. Furthermore, the solution offers high design compatibility with existing System-in-Package(SiP) architectures, allowing customers to adopt the new thermal technology with minimal design adjustments.Through the iHBM solution, slated for deployment in next-generation HBM products, including HBM5, SK hynix aims to increase the stability and operational efficiency of HPCs, AI data centers by meeting heat management standards required in high-density and high-bandwidth environments."iHBM is an optimal solution for thermal management, combining our memory design capabilities with advanced packaging technology," said Kangwook Lee, Senior Vice President and Head of PKG Development at SK hynix, adding "The company will cement its AI memory leadership by taking preemptive steps to offer values needed in the AI environment for its customers."
