Advanced packaging: OSATs, foundries, and IDMs all want to be part of the game

“ Once the traditional, exclusive domain of OSATs and IDMs today a paradigm shift is occurring in the assembly / packaging segment of the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain”, asserts Santosh Kumar, Principal Analyst and Director Packaging, Assembly & Substrates, Yole Korea, part of Yole Développement (Yole). “Players from different business models, including foundries, substrate/PCB suppliers, EMS/ODMs, are entering this market and cannibalizing OSATs’ share.”

Without doubt, advanced packaging is today moving from a package substrate platform to silicon, a significant shift that is providing huge opportunities for giants like TSMC, Intel, and Samsung. These leading players can now flex their muscles in the advanced packaging market segment and emerge as key innovators of new advanced packaging technology.
