Thermo-compression and hybrid-bonding tools

BOTTLENECK

Hanmi Semiconductor supplies precision bonders and tool capacity constraints limit HBM and advanced packaging output.

Precision bonders join die using heat and force. Thermocompression bonding stacks HBM memory; hybrid bonding enables sub-10-micron 3D integration. Tool capacity limits HBM and advanced packaging output.

Precision bonders placing and bonding die under heat and force; covers thermo-compression bonding (TCB) for HBM stacking and chip-on-wafer attach, and direct copper-to-copper hybrid bonders for sub-10-micron-pitch 3D integration.
