Advanced IC Substrates Market- Market Dynamics

Rising Demand for High-Performance Computing and AI Chips
The increasing complexity of AI algorithms, large-scale cloud computing, and fast data analysis has created a need for chips that can process information more quickly, handle more input/output, and manage heat better. Traditional packaging platforms cannot meet these performance standards. Advanced IC substrates like FC-BGA (Flip Chip Ball Grid Array) and 2.5D/3D packages provide high-density connections and better signal transmission. These features are essential for the computing workloads of the future.
Top chip makers such as NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel are using advanced packaging more often to boost the performance of GPUs and CPUs, particularly for training and using AI models. These substrates can support larger chip sizes, integrate stacked memory, and improve heat dissipation. This leads to higher reliability in demanding computing situations. Additionally, companies like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud are urging substrate suppliers to develop better packaging solutions that can meet the rising needs of their data centers. Consequently, there is significant investment upstream in substrate technologies, material innovation, and increasing manufacturing capacity.
