About Silicon Box
Silicon Box is a Singapore company that runs a foundry for chiplet integration, which means joining several small chips into one package instead of making one large chip. Its approach works with very fine wiring dimensions, below 5 microns, to connect the chiplets closely. It operates a factory at 20 Tampines Industrial Avenue 3 in Singapore and has announced a development agreement for a site in Novara, Italy. Listed investors include UMC Capital, Intel Capital, Tata Electronics, TDK Ventures and EDBI.
Silicon Box was founded in 2021 and is based in Singapore. It is listed under ASICs, Interconnect & Networking. Reported funding is $200M+.

What Silicon Box works on
ASICs
An ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, is a chip designed to do one job or a narrow set of jobs. Its circuits are fixed when the chip is made. A CPU can run any program; an ASIC does what it was designed for and nothing else.
Interconnect & Networking
Interconnect is the set of links that move data between chips, between boards and between racks. It includes wires on a package, cables inside a server, and the network switches and optical fibre across a data center. A processor is only as useful as the speed at which it can get data in and out.
