Fortifying domestic supply chain resilience:
Amkor’s commitment to a robust American semiconductor ecosystem
The establishment of Amkor’s next factory in Arizona stems from the US CHIPS Act initiative to strengthen domestic semiconductor supply chains. After evaluating multiple states, we selected Peoria, Arizona, due to its strategic advantages, including proximity to TSMC (the world’s largest silicon foundry). This location enables us to create a robust ecosystem alongside TSMC, Intel, and other industry leaders, leveraging shared educational resources, supplier networks, and technical services.
Located in north Peoria at the Peoria Innovation Core, the facility will specialize in advanced packaging and test technologies for artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, mobile applications, communications, and the automotive and industrial sectors.
Featuring high automation for optimized cycle times and cost competitiveness, it will provide rapid yield feedback to US wafer fabrication plants. Upon completion of phase 1, the facility will employ over 1,300 local workers.

We understand the critical importance of recruiting, training, and retaining a diverse and skilled workforce to fill the jobs needed to operate our advanced packaging facility. Amkor provides training programs and supports its employees’ development, guiding new employees through orientation, basic training, manufacturing line training, certification, and ongoing on-the-job training.
Through established partnerships with several educational institutions, we will leverage existing programs and incorporate our specific needs to ensure access to a qualified stream of people, which will benefit both the community and our organization.
We expect to enable apprenticeship programs so future graduates can go to school and have internships concurrently in our factory, work with a mentor, and learn equipment operation and maintenance. Our team is partnering with state and local workforce development boards, commissions, advisory boards and the Arizona Department of Education to create pathways for students and adults to our industry.
Our workforce comprises professionals from various educational backgrounds and disciplines, creating a well-balanced technical environment where diverse perspectives drive innovation and excellence.

Amkor Technology Arizona and green manufacturing
Our stated ESG mission is to pursue agile and dependable manufacturing that drives sustainable practices, aligns with our core values of reliability and trust and maintains our commitments to our communities, customers, suppliers, employees, business partners and shareholders.
At Amkor Technology, we are deeply committed to the communities we serve and the environment we share. By adhering to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), we have established ambitious, verified goals that demonstrate our dedication to sustainable manufacturing. We’re actively working to reduce our absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030, with an ultimate target of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
Our environmental strategy aligns with leading industry standards through our participation in the Responsible Business Alliance, and Responsible Mineral Initiative, and compliance with Sustainability Accounting Standards Board guidelines. Beyond emissions, we’ve set concrete goals to reduce water usage and waste generation by 20% by 2030, and we proudly support the City of Peoria’s initiatives to maximize water reclamation. These science-based commitments reflect our holistic approach to environmental stewardship and our responsibility to both our local community and the global ecosystem. Discover more about our ESG mission!
At our new Peoria facility, Amkor is implementing comprehensive water management strategies that reflect our deep commitment to environmental stewardship and community responsibility. We’ve designed our operations to limit consumption, with at least 80% of water coming from reclaimed sources. Our facility will feature a state-of-the-art industrial wastewater pretreatment program that adheres to all federal, state, and municipal requirements, building on our extensive experience with wastewater management across our global operations.
We’re investing in advanced purification systems that enable us to use reclaimed water in our semiconductor assembly processes, demonstrating our dedication to conservation in water-sensitive Arizona. Furthermore, we’ve established a collaborative partnership with the City of Peoria to continuously improve wastewater processing techniques, ensuring that water can be effectively recycled within our operations. This approach not only minimizes our environmental footprint but also supports the long-term sustainability of water resources in the community we’re proud to join.
Amkor is committed to being a good neighbor to Peoria residents through responsible noise management at our new facility. While Peoria city code permits sound levels up to 80 dBA during daytime hours (6:00 AM-10:00 PM) and 70 dBA overnight (10:00 PM-6:00 AM) when measured at property boundaries, we’re setting a much higher standard. Based on measurements from our largest existing facility, which registers only 44-59 dB—significantly below local requirements—residents can expect minimal noise disruption from our operations.
This careful attention to sound levels demonstrates our respect for the community’s quality of life and our dedication to creating a manufacturing environment that harmoniously coexists with surrounding neighborhoods. Our proactive approach to noise mitigation reflects Amkor’s broader commitment to responsible corporate citizenship and environmental stewardship in all the communities where we operate.
Career opportunities
As one of the most important semiconductor packaging pioneers and the leader in the OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) market, Amkor is relied on by the world’s biggest semiconductor companies to bring their designs to completion. We are seeking top talent to join our Arizona team, where innovation and manufacturing excellence converge in America’s semiconductor corridor.
