Semiconductor and Integrated Circuit (IC) packaging materials include a broad range of substances and components used to encase and protect electronic circuits or semiconductors. These materials serve as a physical shield and play critical roles in heat dissipation, electrical insulation, and enhancing the reliability and performance of the semiconductors. The expansion in their use is primarily driven by the burgeoning demand for consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics. As technology advances and electronic devices become more compact and powerful, the need for efficient, durable, and heat-resistant packaging materials has escalated. However, the industry faces challenges, notably concerning the environmental impact of some packaging materials and the quest for materials that can withstand increasingly high temperatures and harsh operating conditions. Addressing these disadvantages requires ongoing research and development to discover more sustainable materials and innovative packaging techniques that reduce waste and enhance performance. Nevertheless, the advent of 5G technology, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to spur further growth. Moreover, the drive towards miniaturized devices with higher computing power signals a growing demand for advanced packaging solutions that can accommodate these trends. Innovations in materials science, such as the development of eco-friendly and high thermal conductivity materials, are poised to open new avenues for industry expansion, catering to the evolving needs of the technology landscape.
