Top 10 IC Packaging Substrate Manufacturers in the World

Top 10 IC packaging substrate manufacturers in the world

The packaging substrate is used to carry the chip and connect the chip to the PCB motherboard. Packaging substrate is a kind of circuit board used to carry chips. It belongs to a technical branch of PCB and is also the core semiconductor packaging and testing material. It has the characteristics of high density, high precision, high performance, miniaturization and thinness, and can provide support, heat dissipation and protection, and also provide electrical connection and physical support between the chip and the PCB motherboard.

According to the calculation of the consulting agency Prismark, the packaging substrate industry is expected to grow from US$14.2 billion in 2021 to US$21.4 billion in 2026 from 2021 to 2026, with a compound growth rate of 8.6%. Among them, the compound annual growth rate of FC-BGA is 10%, surpassing that of FC. -CSP CAGR of 5%.

The packaging substrate subdivision process corresponds to different products, and can be mainly divided into three levels. Entry-level products include CSP, PBGA, used for chipsets, DRAM, Flash products; general categories include general FCCSP and FCBGA (non-CPU category), which can be used for communication chipsets, SiP modules; high-end categories include complex FCBGA (CPU category ) products, which can be used in CPU, GPU and other products. 

Globally, Unimicron, KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY, and Nanya in Taiwan, China, Ibiden in Japan, and AT&S in Austria all involve high-end products. The following are the top 10 IC packaging substrate manufacturers in the world. Let’s have a look.
