ERS Electronic Opens Demonstration Center In Zhubei To Meet Growing Demand For Panel-Level Packaging In Taiwan

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) Panel-level packaging is rapidly gaining traction in the semiconductor industry due to its cost advantages and process scalability. Dr. Yik Yee Tan, Technology & Market Principal Analyst at Yole Group, predicts that the market will grow from $160 million in 2024 to over $600 million by 2030, driven by cost-efficient solutions in advanced packaging. By 2030, high-density fan-out technology, propelled by Generative AI, is expected to dominate the market, capturing more than 50% of the market share⁽¹⁾. In Chiplet and Heterogeneous Integration demand for larger form factor is driving the growth of PLP in the coming years to meet higher density requirement. For large package size of ~5.5x reticle size limit, PLP can boost carrier area efficiency by more than 80%, compared to just 45% with Wafer Level Packaging (WLP).

In addition to wafer solutions, ERS was among the first to bring PLP equipment to the market, introducing a panel-level debonder in 2018. Today, ERS offers a wide portfolio of semi- and fully-automatic systems, including PhotoThermal debonding machines enabling temporary bonding and debonding (TBDB) processes essential for handling ultra-thin substrates, which is critical for HPC and AI applications, like CoWoS and HBM.

"With LUM600S1, we are providing a high-yield solution tailored for high-volume manufacturing of complex AI chips. Our Taiwanese customers can now experience firsthand how PhotoThermal Debonding enhances efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness," says Sébastien Perino, Managing Director of ERS Taiwan.
