Nan Ya PCB, part of Taiwan's Formosa group, makes IC substrates — the fine, multi-layer boards that sit between a chip and the circuit board and route the connections out of the package. It is one of the principal suppliers of ABF substrates, the specific high-end material class advanced AI accelerators are built on. In the model it sits in the packaging and materials layer.
The structural hook is that ABF substrate capacity is concentrated among a handful of makers and is slow and costly to expand, which has repeatedly made it a quiet bottleneck for accelerator supply. When packaging tightens, it is often the substrate — not the wafer — that gates how many finished chips ship. That places Nan Ya alongside the small group whose capacity decisions constrain the whole downstream, giving it exposure to the build-out despite sitting well behind the marquee chip designers.

Frequently asked
What is Nan Ya PCB's role in the AI supply chain?
The model reads Nan Ya PCB primarily as a supplier in Chips.
Which parts of the AI value chain is Nan Ya PCB exposed to?
Nan Ya PCB is mapped to 3 parts of the AI value chain, most strongly ABF substrates, Packaging capacity, Host compute (server CPUs). It sits primarily in the Chips layer as a supplier.
Does Nan Ya PCB own an AI bottleneck?
Not in the current model — Nan Ya PCB is exposed to constrained parts but sits downstream of them rather than producing them.
Who are Nan Ya PCB's closest peers by AI-chain position?
By shared chain dependencies: Kyocera Corporation, Zhen Ding Technology Holding Limited, Shennan Circuits Co., Ltd., AT&S.
