Continuous research and development activities aimed at developing innovative packaging solutions and meeting the demand for improved electronic device performance further accelerate the growth of the advanced packaging photoresist market.
Research and Development Investments
Increased investment in research and development is a significant driving force behind the advanced packaging photoresist market. This investment is fostering the development of new formulations and processes for advanced packaging photoresist materials, aiming to achieve higher resolution, improved sensitivity, and enhanced control over critical dimensions.
Integrated Semiconductor Components in Automobiles
Integrating semiconductor components in automobiles will drive the growth of the global semiconductor advanced packaging market. Increased demand for vehicle electrification and vehicle automation is driving the semiconductor market in this area. For example, semiconductor ICs are used in multiple functions of automobiles, such as air bag control, GPS, anti-lock braking systems, displays, infotainment systems, power doors and windows, autonomous driving and collision detection technology, etc. Additionally, semiconductor packaging technology is expected to increase the value of semiconductor products by increasing their operating functionality, improving and sustaining performance, while reducing overall packaging costs. This has also created demand for high-performance chips for various consumer electronics products, thereby increasing the demand for 3D and 2.5D packaged chips for smartphones and other mobile devices.
Key Development Trends
The Development Path of Advanced Packaging Technology
Currently, in terms of technological maturity, the mainstream technology in the global packaging industry is based on the third stage.
Mainly, it is moving towards the fourth and fifth stage packaging technologies represented by system-in-package (SiP), flip-chip packaging (FC), fan-out integrated circuit packaging (FanOut), etc.
The development trend of advanced packaging technology can be decomposed into three sub-vectors: (1) Functional diversification: packaging objects have developed from the initial single die to multiple die, and one package may have multiple die with different functions; (2) ) Connection diversification: The internal interconnection technology under the package continues to diversify, from bumping to embedded interconnection, and the density of connections continues to increase; (3) Stacking diversification: The device arrangement has gradually changed from plane to three-dimensional. Build rich stacking topologies by combining different interconnect methods. The development of advanced packaging technology has extended and expanded the concept of packaging. From wafer to system, "packaging" can be used to describe the integrated processing process.
Rapid Growth of Euv Photoresists
EUV photoresists have firmly established themselves in high volume chip production, with a projected rapid growth trajectory as new logic nodes are introduced. This is especially prominent in the production of advanced DRAM with EUV technology, fueled by the increasing deployment of ASML scanners. Simultaneously, the demand for photoresists used in "old tech" (I-line, G-line, and KrF) is anticipated to surge due to near-term chip supply constraints, with KrF resists finding increased application in the growing 3DNAND device production.
Continued Growth in The Semiconductor Industry
The sustained growth of the semiconductor industry is a major catalyst for the photoresist market. The rising demand for smaller and more complex electronic devices, including smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices, necessitates higher-performance and more precise photolithography methods. Photoresists are integral to the patterning of integrated circuits, driving the need for advanced materials.
The global production capacity construction plan is being orderly promoted. According to SEMI's "Global Wafer Factory Forecast" report released in January 2024, from 2022 to 2024, the world will invest in the construction of 82 wafer factories. According to SEMI's forecast, global semiconductor manufacturers will push up their 12 inch wafer fab production capacity to a historic high of 9.6 million wafers (wpm) per month in 2026. In 2023, due to weak demand for storage and logic chips, the expansion speed will slow down.
Surge in Demand for "Old Tech" Photoresists
Due to near-term chip supply constraints, there is anticipated growth in the demand for photoresists used in "I-line," "G-line," and "KrF" technologies. The demand for KrF photoresists is especially notable with the increasing production and layer counts in 3DNAND devices. This reflects the market's strong demand for traditional technologies alongside the fulfillment of new technological requirements.
Continuous Evolution of Photoresist Chemical Structure
The chemical structure of photoresists is evolving continually with advancements in semiconductor manufacturing. New formulations and processes are being developed to achieve higher resolution, improved sensitivity, and better control over critical dimensions. These innovations are crucial for enabling the production of smaller and more complex microdevices, pushing the boundaries of modern chemical structures.
Creation of New Chemical Structures and Applications
Emerging industries like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and self-driving cars require better sensors, micro-optics, and MEMS devices, heavily relying on photolithography methods. Additionally, the growing use of advanced packaging technologies, such as wafer-level packaging and 3D integration, increases the demand for specialized photoresist materials capable of addressing the specific requirements of these applications.
Packaging Substrates Become Mainstream Packaging Materials
As packaging technology develops toward multi-pin, narrow pitch, and miniaturization, packaging substrates have gradually replaced traditional lead frames and become the mainstream packaging material. Wire-bonding substrates account for approximately 40% to 50% of the total packaging cost, while flip-chip substrates account for as high as 70% to 80%. Compared with other packaging materials, packaging substrates is more difficult, but it has high profits, numerous application fields, and broad market space.
With the emergence of new high-density packaging forms, many functions of electronic packaging, such as electrical connections and physical protection, are gradually being partially or fully borne by the packaging substrate. In recent years, high-density multilayer substrates have accounted for an increasing share of electronic substrates, and are increasingly used in advanced packaging.
