What sets TechSearch apart from others?

The Advanced Packaging Update (4 issues per year) features special coverage of market and technology developments for BGAs, CSPs, stacked die CSPs, flip chip, and wafer level packages. Each issue includes new applications, developments in materials and assembly equipment, and new package constructions.

Topics covered include:

We publish a series of multi-client reports on various package technologies, including flip chip and wafer level packaging, system-in-package, 2.5D & 3D ICs, embedded components, and more.

We offer single-client consulting on a variety of advanced packaging, materials, equipment, and assembly areas.

TechSearch International president Jan Vardaman served as co-author on a study from IPC that provides a thorough, data-driven analysis of the global semiconductor and advanced packaging ecosystem. The study, An Analysis of the North American Semiconductor and Advanced Packaging Ecosystem, highlights the role of advanced packaging in driving innovation in semiconductor designs.

In partnership with SEMI®, we offer a comprehensive report covering worldwide facilities that provide outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing manufacturing services. This database offers access and insights into global OSAT facilities in China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The report also highlights new and emerging package offerings by manufacturing location.

In partnership with SEMI®, we offer a comprehensive market research study that examines semiconductor packaging trends and their impact on the packaging materials markets. Markets are quantified, new opportunities are highlighted for advanced technology nodes and emerging package form factors, and the materials market outlook is presented.

In partnership with SavanSys Solutions, TechSearch International provides access to valuable cost models for packaging. SavanSys develops the models and we help to calibrate the data. Available are cost models for 2.5D and 3D packaging, flip chip, wafer level packaging, and wire bond applications. The 2.5D & 3D Packaging Cost Model is the first cost model to cover the total cost and yield from fabrication of the wafer to complete assembly. SavanSys also offers cost analysis for fan-out wafer level packaging.

TechSearch International's deep understanding of advanced packaging technologies is supported by teardowns of leading-edge system products. We perform our own teardowns and utilize third-party services of other experts. Information from the teardowns can be found throughout our line of reports. We also provide to clients individual teardown reports.
