In flip chip technology, the entire surface of a dye can be used for interconnection, rather than just the edge. It can support a larger number of interconnects on the same die size, owing to its ability to connect over the surface of the die; thus, flip chip technology maintains high packaging density.
The flip chip technology market is mainly driven by growth in the Internet of Things (IoT) and technological superiority over wire bonding.
Segmental Insights
The global flip chip market can be segmented by product type, packaging technology, bumping technology, and industry.
