AI Demand Drives Shift to Panel-Level Packaging, ACM Research Says
- ACM Research's analysis identifies AI-driven demand for high-performance computing as a catalyst for panel-level packaging adoption amid packaging shortages.
- TSMC's advanced packaging roadmap projects growth from 5.5 reticles today to 14 reticles by 2029, more than doubling package sizes.
- Current round substrates accommodate about 30 to 35 packaged dies, limiting production capacity for increasingly large packages.
- Square panels offer greater throughput, potentially higher yields and improved system performance through more effective chip integration.
- Adoption faces equipment shortages, processes requiring optimization and a lack of standard panel sizes, complicating equipment makers' development priorities.
