Advanced Semiconductor Packaging Technology

Advanced Semiconductor Packaging Technology
Currently, there are five confirmed growth engines in the semiconductor industry, which are:① Mobile terminals, such as smartphones, smartwatches, wearable devices, laptops, and tablets;② High-performance computing (HPC), also known as supercomputing, which can process data and perform complex calculations at high speeds on supercomputers;③ Autonomous vehicles;④ Internet of Things (IoT), such as smart factories and smart healthcare;⑤ Big data for cloud computing and real-time data processing for edge computing.
Packaging technology experts are using various advanced packaging methods such as flip chip, wafer-level/board-level chip scale packaging; fan-out wafer-level/board-level packaging; package on package (PoP); silicon through vias; 2.1D, 2.3D, 2.5D, and 3D IC integration; high bandwidth memory (HBM); multi-chip modules; system-in-package (SiP); heterogeneous integration; chiplet technology; interconnect bridges, etc., to accommodate (package) semiconductor devices aimed at these five main applications.
Driven by 5G and AI, the speed of semiconductor devices is continuously increasing, density is rising, pad pitch is decreasing, chip sizes are expanding, while power consumption is also increasing. All these changes provide new opportunities and challenges for advanced semiconductor packaging technology.
For most engineers, managers, and researchers in the field, advanced packaging is still not well understood. There is an urgent need for a comprehensive book that can explain the current advanced packaging technologies in both industry and academia.
Advanced Semiconductor Packaging Technology
The purpose of writing “Advanced Semiconductor Packaging Technology” is to enable readers to quickly learn methods for solving advanced packaging issues; through reading this book, one can also learn the necessary compromise awareness when making system-level decisions.
