3DIC Technology is Transforming Chip Design and Driving Innovation, Contribute Over 24.5% Revenue

3DIC technology offers a compelling alternative to traditional 2D chip designs, promising reduced footprints, lower power consumption, and performance gains through vertical chip stacking. These advantages have translated into a significant 24.5% market share within the global optical design software market, with professional services focused on 3DIC implementation capturing an additional 17.2%. 3DICs prove particularly valuable in optical design where wave or "physical" optics dominate, enabling engineers to build complex optical systems. This capability was demonstrated by a Matsushita research team that constructed a parallel image signal processor on a four-layer 3D IC.

The widespread use of 3DICs in areas like NAND flash memory and mobile devices highlights their mainstream appeal in the optical design software market. To foster standardization and development, international organizations like JIC and ITRS have established classifications and roadmaps for 3DIC technology. Electronic design automation (EDA) tools are a cornerstone of 3DIC innovation. Platforms like Synopsys 3DIC Compiler offer unified design and integration solutions for multi-die systems, streamlining exploration, implementation, and validation. Autonomous AI optimization through Synopsys 3DSO further enhances these capabilities. Close collaboration between foundries like TSMC and EDA providers ensures that customers benefit from certified solutions like CoWoS and InFO packaging technologies.

Maximizing the benefits of 3DICs requires a shift toward chiplet-level optimization with sophisticated design tools playing a critical role in the optical design software market. The future of 3DIC technology is rich with potential, as EDA solutions expand to encompass areas like virtual prototyping, thermo-electromechanical simulation, and TCAD. This promises to unlock even greater possibilities for designing high-performance, power-efficient 3D integrated circuits.

Thin Film Coatings Application Boost Demand for Optical Design Software Market, Captures Over 24.8% Market Share

Optical design software plays a critical role in the development and optimization of thin film coatings, which find applications across solar cells, OLEDs, and semiconductor devices. These software tools ensure that thin-film coatings meet stringent specifications for refractive index, thickness, transmission, and other optical properties, which are essential in precision optics applications. Solutions like RP Coating V4 offer flexibility and power in designing not just standard coatings, but customized multilayer structures for specialized needs.

The growing demand for thin-film coatings reflects in the expanding optical coatings market, forecast to reach USD 24.30 billion by 2029. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to demonstrate the highest growth rate in this market. Increased adoption of electronic coatings within consumer and opto-electronics sectors is a significant driver of this expansion.

Thin films are deposited using diverse techniques, including evaporation and solution processing methods. Sputtering is a popular choice for creating durable and precise coatings, with Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) offering even greater control and repeatability in the optical design software market. In-situ optical monitoring systems (OMS) are integrated into the deposition process, providing real-time control vital for complex multilayer coatings. This combination of optical design software, advanced deposition techniques, and precise monitoring leads to the production of high-performance, application-specific thin film coatings.

Thin-film optical coatings enhance lenses, mirrors, filters, and more. Anti-reflective coatings, for example, use multiple layers to minimize reflection and maximize light transmission. Materials like gold, fused silica, and indium are commonly used in these coatings, and the quality is determined by factors like layer thickness and refractive index. The continued demand for superior optics across aerospace, defense, telecommunications, medical, and consumer electronics industries will further propel the growth of the optical thin film coatings market.
