TOKYO -- Intel will partner with 14 Japanese companies to develop technology to automate "back-end" chipmaking processes like packaging, Nikkei learned Monday, as the U.S. and Japan look to cut geopolitical risks to their semiconductor supply chains.
The tie-up, which includes electronics maker Omron, Yamaha Motor, and materials suppliers Resonac and Shin-Etsu Polymer, will be led by Kunimasa Suzuki, head of Intel's Japanese arm.
