order form
This issue of the Advanced Packaging Update features a detailed financial analysis of the top 20 OSATs. The market forecast for ball grid arrays (BGAs) and chip scale packages (CSPs) is provided in units. Package examples and demand drivers are provided. An update on the capacity and demand for build-up substrates is provided. The impact of demand for large-body, high-density substrates and the potential for future shortages is discussed. The CSP market is divided into laminate (FBGA and FLGA) and leadframe (QFN) substrates. Stacked die package trends are included. Estimates of the market for each package type are based on input from both captive and merchant assembly operations.
