As AI chips grow, packaging substrates shift from round wafers to square panels
As AI chips grow in area, investment is starting at home and abroad to switch packaging bases from round wafers to large square substrates. Using square panels can process 5 to 6 times more chips at once than wafers, raising area utilisation to 87 percent from 57 percent. Competition is also intensifying between Taiwan and South Korean companies over panel-level packaging, a process that reassembles cut chips on a panel and builds moulding and redistribution layers.
