Permanent Wafer Bonding for Semiconductor: Application Trends & Technology Report 2014 -EVG, SUSS MicroTec, and TEL Dominate the Market
M2 - Mon May 26, 9:44AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/czxvbs/permanent_wafer) has announced the addition of the "Permanent Wafer Bonding for Semiconductor: Application Trends & Technology" report to their offering. EV GROUP IS LEADING, AMAT AND TEL ARE MERGING, WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? The permanent bonding market is evolving, currently dominated and fragmented by 3 main permanent bonding equipment suppliers: EV Group (EVG), SUSS MicroTec, and TEL (Tokyo Electron). These 3 vendors today account for almost 80% of the permanent bonding equipment market by focusing on MEMS and advanced packaging applications including BSI CIS, CIS capping WLP, and 3D stack TSV. Key Findings - EVG is still the market leader in permanent bonding technology with more than 70% of market share, but will be challenged by the merging of TEL and AMAT (Applied Materials),two of the largest semiconductor equipment suppliers in the world. - The entrance of aggressive new players is likely to challenge established players in the permanent bonding market: - Some players have recently entered the market with low barriers of entry such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industry (MHI); mainly with customers involved in the R&D sector. - Other big equipment suppliers have created a challenging environment and stimulate technology innovation for further improvements in the Advanced packaging area. - TEL has gained more market share in 2013 from permanent bonding technologies - with significant market share achieved due to their deep involvement in 3D TSV Stack bonding technology performed at room temperature. KEY FEATURES OF THE REPORT - Permanent bonding market metrics (wpsy, units and value) - Breakdown by wafer size - Complete competitive analysis of the key permanent bonding equipment suppliers with in-depth profiles of the main equipment vendors - Market share of each major equipment supplier - Overview of the different permanent bonding technologies - Key technical insights and detailed analysis on all permanent bonding technologies, trends, & challenges - Detailed analysis on the applications using permanent bonding technologies - Detailed information on established and emerging permanent bonding process steps Key Topics Covered: - Executive summary - Introduction, definitions & scope of the report - 2013-2019 detailed permanent bonding - Permanent bonding technologies - 2013-2019 detailed permanent bonding forecast by applications - Conclusions & perspectives - Company presentation Companies Mentioned - AMD - AML - Applied Materials - Avago - Bosch - Discera - EVG - Infineon - InvenSense - Lemoptix - Luxtera - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries - Murata / VTI - Nemotek - OSRAM - PlanOptik - Samsung - Sensonor - Silicon Labs - SOITEC - STMicroelectronics - SUSS MicroTec - Sony - Teledyne DALSA - Tokyo Electron - Ziptronix - IMEC - Leti - Texas Instruments - Tezzaron For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cz...nent_wafer
