How can advanced packaging decrease semiconductor market uncertainty and enable future semiconductor products? From supporting technology to enabler of future semiconductor products Future semiconductor drivers are expected to be fragmented and more diverse than in the mobile era. Scaling continues, but functionality and system level features are becoming increasingly important for product differentiation rather than raw computation power. An outlook into the future brings the Internet of Things (from end device to backbone infrastructure), including the Industrial Internet of Things, the semiconductorization of the automotive industry, 5G connectivity, augmented & virtual reality and artificial intelligence. In such an environment, advanced packaging is transforming from follower of scaling technology nodes to enabler of future semiconductor applications and products. Heterogeneous integration of multiple dies from the latest to legacy front-end nodes, involving a mixture of latest technology high density interconnects to lower cost mature interconnects, at high levels of customization is the future of packaging. Advanced packaging has direct impact on product success rates and semiconductor revenues. More information on that report at: https://www.i-micronews.com/reports.html
