WHAT’S NEW SINCE THE LAST REPORT (JUNE 2017)

• Updating the hardware list using TSV & other 3D stacking technologies with focus on GPUs for High Performance Computing (HPC) inaddition to MEMS & Sensors for mid / low end market segment

• Updating the 3D integration markets by adding cryptocurrency as a new market

• Updating the 3D stacked memory market by omitting HMC & MCDRAM memories from it. Micron stopped any R&D program related toHMC, they will continue to produce low volumes for some of their clients and they are switching to HBM instead

• Updating the 3D integration technologies and adding technologies like hybrid bonding, Foveros, RDL interposer as a new stacking solutions.

• Updating the CIS market and segmenting it into 3 different stacked CIS technologies (using TSV / Hybrid and combo TSV +Hybrid). More focuson this market asYole is foreseeing important usage of stacking technologies in it

• Updating the 2017 forecasts with numbers based on the actual & future market analysis & trends

• Updating the players & ecosystem for stacking technologies, showing that it’s in place and ready to fulfill clients demands

• Updating the cost structure calculation used for the forecasts:• 2017 report: the cost of packaging was including for example the DRAM wafer cost + TSV cost + bumping cost +yield loss cost

• 2019 report: the cost of packaging is only and for example the TSV cost + bumping cost + yield loss cost. Not taking into consideration the device wafercost as we want to focus on the packaging costs only

• New forecasts on Intel’s Foveros technology & updating the 3D SoC forecasts

• 3D SoC will hit the market by 2019 produced by TSMC and with HiSilicon as a first potential client for their datacenter activities

• EMIB from Intel as 3D stacking alternative to 2.5DTSV interposer, with products already launched

• DRAM is still and will further be a big playing ground for 3D stacking technologies. Samsung is prompting pre-emptive $27.7 billion in a 2nd

plant in Pyeongtaek to be able to answer growing DRAM & NAND demand. On the other hand, Micron will also invest $3 billion by 2023 toincrease memory production at its Manassas plant

• Chinese government is massively backing their memory startups. YMTC (Tsinghua Unigroup) received $24 billion to implement a new 12” 3DNAND production line in the new plant in Chengdu. Tsinghua Unigroup are also investing $30 billion in a plant in Nanjing to manufacture 3DNAND & DRAM

• TSMC CoWoS and advanced packaging production capacity extension up to 200K wafers/month. Wafer on Wafer (3D SoC with hybridbonding) new platform from TSMC for HPC and data center markets

WHY 3D INTEGRATION IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT

Moore’s law slowing down

Moore’s law pace is slowing down, if not already dead as mentioned by Forbes & Nvidia. It’s reaching some limitations as developing lower technology

nodes is doable technically but not anymore cost efficient

In this report, we will be using the “slow down” term when describing Moore’s law status

To deal with this slow down, other alternatives are currently used & will be further developed:

• Advanced packaging technologies development. 2.5D technology was first used in high performance applications. Scaling the Z axis is taking

more and more importance in what is called 3D stacking especially for HPC, but not only

• Specialized devices. Meaning 1 device = 1 function. Example of GPU VS Neural engine, that allows reduced power consumption & faster

computing speed

• Other advanced packaging technologies development (SLIT, FOCoS, SWIFT, EMIB, ...)

Only 4 players with 14/12nm Fab

(2017) Only 2-3 players still in the 7nm node race

7nm Fab

Delay in Intel’s

10nm node, so

obviously they are

late regarding

2.5D INTEGRATION WITH TSV TECHNOLOGY FOR HIGH END SEGMENT

Heterogeneous integration on Si interposer

• The TSV is used as interconnection between the 2 Si facets in the so called Si interposer. It is a thinned silicon wafer with TSV’s that enableheterogeneous device integration on top of it in what is described as 2.5D integration.

• This 2.5D Si interposer is the technology created just before the 3D integration (used for example in stacked memories). It was created as anintermediate technology before accessing the 3D integration and still used in many applications that requires:

• Higher performances and lower power consumption due to shorter connections

• In the example below, the Si interposer is used as an interconnection between a X-PU (GPU for example) and a 3D stacked memory (with TSV’sinside, HBM for example)

3D INTEGRATION WITH TSV TECHNOLOGY FOR HIGH END SEGMENT

3D Stacked memories with TSV technologies (3DS & HBM)• 2 types of stacked memories technologies using TSV are on the market:

• 3DS: this type of memory is using DDR4 DRAM stacked chips and operate as stand-alone memories for HPC & data centers markets

• HBM: this type of memory is often used beside other hardware like GPU, CPU, FPGA on top of a 2.5D interposer

• The 3DS memories are TSV based devices, where several DDR4 DRAMs are interconnected together using TSV technology. It can have a totalcapacity of 64 and 128GB. Samsung announced its availability in 256GB configuration back in October 2018

• 2 major players share the 3DS market, Samsung as a leader, SK Hynix as runner up with micron completing the podium but still far away from the2 leaders in term of volume production

• The HBM memories are also TSV based devices, where 2/4 & 8 DRAMs are interconnected together via TSV. We can see 1/2/4 HBM devicesaround a processor in a system dedicated for HPC. Samsung is the leader in this market with SK Hynix in second position. Micron will switch tothis technology instead of their HMC technology that they are letting down

• In term of market, the 3DS today is around 42% of total high performance stacked memories (3DS & HBM). Due to the fact of data collectionexploded in the last years and the entry of artificial intelligence onto our daily life, the need of 3DS will increase in the upcoming years reaching51% of the total high performance stacked memories market by 2020

3D SOC FORECAST

12’’ SoC WSPY production

• TSMC is believed to be the first to get a product on the market,

by end of 2018, start of 2019 (Die to wafer, memory on logic).

They are able to ramp up the production very quickly if a client

will manifest an interest in this technology

• TSMC WoW technology will be based on SoC wafer stacking

using hybrid bonding and intended for datacenter usage. HiSilicon

(Huawei) can be their first client,AMD is also a potential client

• Global foundries will enter the market by 2021 with as first phase

memory on logic wafer to wafer stacking using hybrid bonding

with pitches between 1 & 2µm. They will produce both wafers &

stack them in-house, which is of an interest for the yield

• Hybrid bonding will, most probably, be the bonding technology

used for 3D SoC stacking (wafer to wafer)

• 3D SoC wafer should cost 3 to 4 times less than TSV interposer

wafer

• 3D SoC can be memory on logic or logic on logic (attention heat

dissipation issues for the latter one). In the case of memory on

logic which is the most probable application for 3D SoC, memory

manufacturers & logic circuits ones should talk together to limit

the design differences & yield losses (the manufacturers having

capabilities to produce both wafers will have a big advantage)

TSV IN HIGH END SEGMENT FORECAST

TSV revenues & growth in High End segment

• This graph is based on TSV revenues in High end segment:

• 3D stacked memory (HBM & 3DS)

• 2.5D interposer (active & passive)

• 2.3B$ TSV revenues by 2023 with an important growth of

57% between 2017-2023 in high end segment

• 3D stacked memories are and will still be the best friend

hardware applications for TSV technology

• We insist, it’s the TSV revenues and growth for High end

segment only. If we plot the growth of TSV for all the

combined market segments, the growth is around 25%

2.5D “PASSIVE” INTERPOSER

A vision on its future

• TSV interposer is an expensive and complex technology in term of process steps

• All the players acting in the field of 2.5D stacking are working on replacing the TSV interposer by other

technologies. The goal is to reduce the prices, enabling the access of 2.5D to mid/low end segments, but also

simply to reduce the total module cost

• Two scenarios are possible for TSV:• Scenario 1:

On the previous 2 slides, we shown that the demand for TSV interposer will continue to grow till 2020 and starting from

2021 the growth will be slower. This is the first potential scenario where we believe that one of the TSV less technologies

will hit the market by 2020/2021 and will start replacing the TSV interposer for 2.5D gradually

• Scenario 2:

Delays in the development and commercialization of TSV less technology(ies). Meanwhile, the demand for TSV interposer

continue to grow to feed the HPC markets. In this case, the TSV interposer will continue to dominate the 2.5D market

and players like TSMC & UMC will be able to increase their production volumes to meet with the demand

• TSV interposer still have some golden years in front, both scenarios can happen even if scenario 1 is more likely to occur

after 2020 & scenario 2 till 2020
