ASE introduced its IDE 2.0 platform on November 4, 2025, building on the IDE 1.0 system that debuted in October 2023. The new platform integrates artificial intelligence to streamline design iterations and optimize chip‑package interactions.
IDE 2.0 is projected to cut design cycle times by up to 70% compared with the 50% reduction achieved by IDE 1.0, and it shortens time‑to‑market for AI and high‑performance computing customers. The AI‑driven tools also improve design accuracy, reducing the need for costly re‑runs.
Management estimates that IDE 2.0 will lift ASE’s LEAP business revenue contribution by roughly 15% in 2026 and provide a 3% margin improvement. The platform is expected to strengthen the company’s position with hyperscaler data centers and other AI chip manufacturers.
ASE’s third‑quarter 2025 results showed NT$168.6 billion in revenue and NT$10.87 billion in net income, driven largely by advanced packaging demand. The company is investing more than US$6 billion in capital expenditures to support the rollout of IDE 2.0 and meet growing customer needs.
While the platform is a key competitive advantage, ASE acknowledges ongoing supply‑chain constraints and increasing competition from other packaging vendors. Management emphasized that the AI enhancements will help the company maintain its leadership in the OSAT market.
