Growing Electronic Sector and Launch of Tools for 3D Co-Packaging of Chips and Chiplets to Augment Growth of 3D ICs Market
A three-dimensional integrated circuits are designed with several conductive layers, usually consisting of conductive layers having different levels of conductivity and electrical characteristicss. The layers are typically packaged together using polyester wiring, but other types of packaging are also available. The layers can be stacked in a vertical fashion, and one layer can serve as a topmost layer, while other layers can support the bottom layers. A finished three-dimensional integrated circuit can have an input, output, input, and power level indicator layer.
Market Dynamics
Growing the electronic sector is expected to boost demand for 3D ICs, thereby propelling
growth of the global 3D ICs market. For instance, according
to India Brand Equity Foundation, the electronics market in India is expected
to witness a CAGR of 24.4% during 2012–20.
Moreover, significant growth in the telecommunication sector
is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, according to Pew Research
Center, as of February 2019, 81% of U.S. adults used smartphones compared to
77% in October 2018.
Launch
of tools for the 3D co-packaging of chips and chipsets is expected to offer
lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global 3D ICs market. For
instance, in February 2021, Monozukuri SpA, a provider of early floorplanning
for 2.5D and 3D IC integration solutions, launched a design tool for the 3D
co-packaging of chips and chipsets down to the PCB level. Moreover, increasing
adoption of PCs is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, according
to Gartner, Inc., worldwide PC shipments totaled 70.6 million units in the
fourth quarter of 2019, a 2.3% increase from the fourth quarter of 2018.
Among
regions, North America is expected to witness significant growth in the 3D ICs
market, owing to initiatives to accelerate access to domestic development and
manufacturing services for microelectronics advanced packaging. For instance,
in January 2021, SkyWater Technology, the U.S.-owned and operated pure play
foundry, announced a public-private partnership with Osceola County, Florida
and BRIDG to accelerate access to domestic development and manufacturing
services for microelectronics advanced packaging.
