The global advanced packaging market is anticipated to exhibit considerable growth at a CAGR of 7.2% in the forecast period between 2023 and 2033. The market is set to be valued at US$ 30.5 billion in 2023. A valuation of US$ 61.3 billion is expected for the global market by 2033.
Due to high demand from a variety of industries within the semiconductor sector, integrated circuit packaging has undergone continual change in terms of product attributes, integration, and energy efficiency.
Flip-chip and wafer-level packaging technologies have seen steady expansion over the years. This growth is attributed to their widespread use, particularly in high-end smartphones and tablets that must adhere to strict space and power management specifications.
Main purpose of the redistribution method was to enable fan-in area array packaging when just a small number of chips were required for the array. Since then, various innovative packaging technologies such as through-silicon via (TSV)-based interposers, wafer-level packaging, chip stacks, and fan-out packaging have all benefited greatly from this methodology.
Fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP), which aims to fulfil the escalating demand for consumer electronics devices, has become a promising technology. Specific features of this type of packaging such as substrate-less packaging and low thermal resistance have made it immensely popular worldwide.
Importantly, it enables incredible performance thanks to its thin-film metallization-based direct integrated circuit connection and short interconnects. It does not make use of standard wire bonding or flip-chip bumps. It also has mild parasitic effects.
Fan-out wafer-level packaging is one of the most prominent packaging innovations in the microelectronics sector. Large substrate formats are being addressed with multiple technological developments for heterogeneous integration with the aid of this packaging.
It incorporates multiple die packaging, package-on-package approaches, passive component integration in packages & redistribution layers. As a result, it is ideal for squeezing in a super capacitor for energy storage along with a piezo-based harvester and power control unit to create a highly miniaturized energy harvester system.
Top Trends Pushing Sales of Advanced Packaging Worldwide
· Miniaturization of Electronics Devices to Augur Well by 2033
As compared to traditional semiconductor packaging, advanced packaging is gaining immense popularity across the globe. Miniaturization of electronics devices is helping advanced packaging sales to escalate worldwide.
High adoption of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) is further set to push sales of embedded die packaging solutions. Although the technology is not new, it has been specialized for niche uses owing to its high cost and limited yield. But, it has enormous potential for growth in the forecast period. Investments in the technology may increase as a result of developments in Bluetooth and radio frequency modules, as well as emergence of WiFi-6.
