Abstract
A complete update on Wafer Level Packaging technologies with market status and forecast
MARKET TRENDS
|
Wafer Level Packaging is a confirmed high growth trend in the semiconductor
packaging industry. Wafer Level Chip Scale Packaging (WLCSP), or the direct
bonding of bumped integrated circuits (IC' s) on printed circuit boards (PCB' s)
as one of the most visible expressions of WLP, is undoubtedly the fastest
growing package type in the whole industry. Yole forecasts that it will
exceed 10 billion units per year by 2012, at a compound annual growth rate of
more than 20% over the next 5 years.

Primarily driven by footprint and thickness reduction of packaged integrated
circuits in mobile phones, WLCSP is now used in a wide range of circuits for
handsets: EMI/ESD interface protection; power supply (PMIC/PMU, DC/DC
converters, LED drivers, MOSFET' s,...); connectivity (Bluetooth, WLAN); and
other features (FM, GPS, TV on mobile, camera).
Wafer-Level Packaging of MEMS devices is also expected to grow fast, driven
here too by the handset market and its fast increasing rate of integrated
sensors (MEMS microphones, accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure and magnetic
sensors).
