Key market dynamics
Increase in demand for miniaturization of devices is a significant driver for the advanced packaging market. With increase in advancement in technologies, manufacturers are laying emphasis in providing compact electronic devices in various industry verticals such as consumer electronics, healthcare, automotive, and semiconductor IC manufacturing. These manufacturers are reducing the size of the integrated circuits to ensure fine patterning on the wafers and chips. In addition, the medical devices industry has witnessed an increase in demand for nano-sized robotic surgery equipment with sophistication and advances into wearable and personalized healthcare gadgets. Therefore, the trends toward compact electronic devices have created the need for designers to outgrow the conventional packaging solutions and to adopt advanced packaging. Miniaturized electronic devices are experiencing growth in the semiconductor industry due to a rise in demand for high-performance electronics. Moreover, the rise in developments of technologies such as RFID, MEMS devices, and other power devices boost the demand for thin wafers. For instance, wafer back grinding process is utilized to reduce the thickness of wafers from 750 μm to around 75-50 μm. Thin wafers help reduce the thickness of packages, especially for smartphones, handheld devices, and compact electronic products.
However, high initial costs pose a substantial barrier to the widespread adoption of advanced packaging systems. Advanced packaging is a very costly process as against conventional packaging solutions used in semiconductor industry. The cost of designing and manufacturing chips at each new node is costly at certain levels. In addition, the cost of wafer fabrication is much higher due to the complexities of the ICs. Packaging of different chips and ICs with complex pattering increases the overall cost of advanced packaging and hampers its adoption. Advanced packaging comes with a lot of features such as easy and wider interconnections for chips and wafers and availability of heterogenous integration which makes it very viable in the semiconductor industry. However, due to the availability of such features, the cost of advanced packaging over conventional packaging is quite high and makes it difficult for small manufacturers to adopt this technology. Therefore, high cost associated with advanced packaging solutions as a major restraint, hampers the growth of the advanced packaging market globally.
Furthermore, the emerging trends of fan-out wafer level packaging present significant opportunities for the advanced packaging market. Fan-out wafer level packaging is an integrated circuit packaging technology and is also an enhancement of standard wafer-level packaging solutions. As against conventional packaging solutions in which a wafer is diced first, fan-out wafer level packaging involves packaging of integrated circuits while still being a part of the wafer and is diced afterwards. Fan-out wafer level packaging provides smaller package footprint along with improved thermal and electrical performances as compared to conventional packages. In addition, fanout wafer level packaging promotes high number of wafer contacts without increasing the die size. There are various significant factors that lead toward the adoption of technology on the global front. These include elimination of wafer bumping, elimination of flip-chip reflows, better wafer-level yield, embedded integration of passive devices, and easier adoption of system-in-package and 3D integrated circuits packaging. These features promote the adoption of fan-out level packaging in the advanced packaging solutions and offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market globally.
