As semiconductor process technology nears known physical limits, the spotlight among major industry players is shifting towards the development of advanced packaging. Concurrently, the rise of applications like artificial intelligence and AIGC has propelled the concept of advanced packaging into a n...

Over the past few decades, semiconductor manufacturing technology has evolved from the 10,000nm process in 1971 to the 3nm process in 2022, driven by the need to increase the number of transistors on chips for enhanced computational performance. However, as applications like artificial intelligence ...

The surge in AIGC and new technologies such IoT, AI, 5G, AR/VR are driving a huge demand for computational power of high-end chips. This has been even outpacing the performance increase offered by the long-standing Moore's Law, ushering in a "post-Moore" era where revolutions in advanced chip design...

According to TrendForce research, driven by strong demand for 5G mobile phones, base stations, automobiles, and HPCs, the global output value of packaging and testing (including foundry and IDM) reached US$82.139 billion in 2021, or 25.83% YoY. This upward momentum is forecast to continue in 2022, t...

As the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the global electronics supply chain, the packaging and testing operations of mid-range and high-end chips were subsequently confronted with prolonged lead times. This can primarily be attributed to the fact that IC substrate suppliers were unable to raise ou...
