Chip-making requires sophisticated, expensive, and highly polluting processes. It needs critical changes from its design to materials selection to address the growing demand for semiconductors.
Advanced packaging in the semiconductor industry is witnessing a continuous transformation in this regard. Electronic packaging technologies are significantly affecting chip power, performance, and cost, allowing manufacturers to merge multiple components into a single electronic device with better signal connections. The micro-system packaging and multi-flip chip technology protect silicon chips from mechanical vibrations and thermal stress. The advanced materials in packaging also bring high voltage resistance, higher operating temperatures, faster switching, and a smaller form factor, delivering cost-effective and robust solutions within the chip size.
Driven by these technological trends, the industry is expected to reach $87.4 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 4.6 percent.
To put the spotlight on such key developments in the industry, Semiconductor Review illustrates how the semiconductor packaging space is leveraging the breakthroughs made in the semiconductor market. This edition also features thought leadership articles from subject matter experts. Some of the exclusive insights are authored by Dhaval Dhayatkar, Senior Director, Plasma Power Products at Advanced Energy; Kevin Kettler, Corporate Vice President at Boyd; Scott D’Cruze, Global Supplier Account Manager at Newark; and Kevin Anderson, Director Integration Technology Research at Qorvo. They shed light on advanced power technologies for single and dual magnetron sputtering, new-wave semiconductors with sustainability initiatives, and product offerings with ever-increasing functionality and bandwidth, all with a premium on size, power consumption, and cost.
In this edition of Semiconductor Review, we also bring to you the story of the top semiconductor packaging solution providers. In the list, ASM stands out for its comprehensive range of solutions linking the entire semiconductor packaging and assembly value chain. They help customers achieve higher productivity, reliability, and quality for decades.
