Packaging Market Outlook For Compound Semiconductor – 2027
The Global Packaging Market size for compound semiconductor was valued at $11.63 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach $25.61 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2020 to 2027.
A compound semiconductor is composed of elements from two or more different groups of the periodic table and is synthesized using deposition technologies. Devices made of semiconductors are essential components of most electronic circuits, as they possess unique properties such as wide band gap, high operational temperatures, high current & voltage holding capacity, and the ability to generate microwave signals.
Compound semiconductors are produced by laminating the layers composed of two or more elements with a thickness ranging from several nanometers to micrometers and it uses different combinations of elements in each layer. The wafer process differs according to material properties. Moreover, some CS devices contain fragile air bridges, gold bond pads, topographical cavities & trenches, and have several unique bulk material properties, which are sensitive to the mechanical and chemical processes associated with standard packaging techniques.
Thus, the standard electronics packaging and interconnection technologies have become the limiting factor determining the performance and efficiency of the new semiconductor components. Whereas, advanced packaging technology provides several advantages such as prevention from physical damage, maximizing operational efficiency, and reducing overall cost.
In addition, in consumer electronics and industrial products, advanced packaging relies on mechanical engineering principles such as dynamics, stress analysis, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics and protects components from mechanical damage, cooling, RF noise emission, and electrostatic discharge. Thus, to improve the performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of electronic systems, an advanced packaging technology is being used for the packaging of compound semiconductors.
Compound semiconductors provide significant performance advantages that are essential for a growing range of technology applications. Compound semiconductors such as GaAs and InP can operate at speeds that are magnitudes higher than silicon. In addition, compound semiconductors can generate and receive a broad range of the electromagnetic spectrum from high-frequency ultraviolet through the visible spectrum to long-wavelength infrared light. Other properties offered by compound semiconductor materials include the ability to emit and sense light in the form of general lighting (LEDs) and communications (lasers and receivers for fiber optics).
With rapid growth in the compound semiconductor packaging market, specifically fan-out wafer level packaging, along with an increase in demand for smartphones and devices and the Internet of Things (IoT), compound semiconductor packaging suppliers are developing processes and ways to reduce the overall cost of advanced packaging and provide maximum operational efficiency. In recent times, compound semiconductor packaging is mainly used for high-end products and applications related to niche markets such as wafers and die production due to its high cost in its operation.
Compound semiconductor packaging technology is expected to increase the value of a semiconductor product by adding functionality in its operation, increasing and maintaining the performance, while lowering the overall cost of packaging. The adoption of advanced compound semiconductor packaging is also creating demand for high-performance chips for various consumer electronic products. This augments the demand for 3D and 2.5D packaging chips, used in smartphones and other mobile devices.
Factors such as increase in demand for miniaturization of devices, improved system performance and optimization of compound semiconductor packaging, and emerging trends toward compound semiconductor wafers in the automotive industry are major factors driving the market growth to a certain extent.
However, the high cost of compound semiconductor packaging is hampering its adoption and is expected to pose a major threat to the compound semiconductor packaging market globally. However, emerging usage of compound semiconductors in smart technologies and emerging trends of fan-out wafer-level packaging is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for market growth globally.
