Fault line

The main supplier of substrates for Nvidia GPUs, Ibiden dominates the segment where complexity is highest and competitors are scarce (Shinko, Unimicron, AT&S). Each GPU generation demands larger, more layered substrates with difficult yields: qualified capacity grows more slowly than demand.
