Copper Pillar Bumping is currently the leading segment of the flip chip market in Argentina, on account of the improved performance characteristics and cost advantages it provides. The good thermal and electrical conductivities of Copper Pillar Bumping have found application in a variety of industries that are the crux of high-performance semiconductor applications. The technology further handles higher current densities and improves overall reliability in flip chip assemblies, making it highly preferred among manufacturers. Moreover, copper is more cost effective than other materials, such as gold, making copper more and more dominant. However, Solder Bumping is picking up very well. The increasing demand for cheap solutions and the flexibility that it can give to provide the versatility in many electronic applications has contributed to its growth. Solder bumps are easier to fabricate and have been used in flip chip technology because of well-established manufacturing processes for these bumps. With the advance in electronics and demand for cost-effective solutions, solder bumping has retained its position and still remains a very viable process despite the entry of more advanced technologies. The downside of gold bumping is that it has become less common compared to copper nowadays because gold is so much more expensive than copper. Gold bumping has the best reliability in terms of bonding strength, which makes it most valuable in high-frequency, high-performance applications. This niche demand ensures that gold bumping remains relevant in specific sectors where performance is critical.
Due to its established nature and cost-effectiveness, 2D IC technology has already dominated the Flip Chip market of Argentina. Through the years, 2D IC packaging had served as the mainstay of Flip Chip Applications. This kind of arrangement, in which semiconductor dies are placed side by side in a single plane, has gained wide acceptance due to its relative simplicity and maturity of manufacturing processes that help in effecting integration without loss of reliability. This technology also has a lower cost compared to its counterpart technologies of 2.5D and 3D, making it a standard technology in many electronic products. The 2.5D IC segment is expected to exhibit considerable growth since there has been an increased demand for higher performance and better interconnectivity. 2.5D IC technology involves multiple dies on a common interposer, providing better signal integrity and higher performance due to improved data transfer rates between chips. The approach allowed 2D IC's limitations to be improved in bandwidth and reduced latency. High-performance computing and data center trends, pushed by AI and advanced graphics processing, increased the demand for 2.5D IC solutions. The 3D IC technology, even if it didn't gain so much terrain, shows promising future directions. It involves the stacking of semiconductor dies vertically, which are then interconnected with through-silicon vias for much higher integration density and a reduced form factor. It provides enormous advantages regarding performance, power efficiency, and miniaturization, but the wide application of 3D IC is definitely restricted by the manufacturing complexity and high cost of 3D ICs. These are challenges that remain the focus of ongoing research and development efforts, and improvements in TSV technology, coupled with better thermal management, will be the driving force for wide diffusion in the coming years.
