TSV TECHNOLOGY WAFER START & REVENUES

Global TSV market

http://www.yole.fr/

http://www.yole.fr/


The numbers are based on each technology’s revenues (M$), meaning that 30% of margin is taken into consideration

ADVANCED PACKAGING TECHNOLOGIES REVENUES REPARTITION

Repartition per markets : HPC & Networking / Consumer / Automotive / Others

• HPC & networking markets are going to grow fast in order to follow the AI & big data trends. This market added to consumer market will

represent almost 90% of the advanced packaging (stacking) market

• Stacking technologies will be needed for autonomous vehicles where higher computing performance will be required (edge computing), but

attention to automotive stringent regulations in term of reliability

• Medical market is a small one for TSV’s but where the performance and form factor parameters are becoming more and more important

http://www.yole.fr/

http://www.yole.fr/


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

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%

http://www.yole.fr/

http://www.yole.fr/


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

The slowdown of Moore’s law opened the path to new inventions for answering actual mega-trends’ stringent specifications. In the packaging field, 2.5D and 3D stacking technologies were preferred by many semiconductor players, and through silicon via (TSV) was the initial stacking technology. After several years of development and a focus on MEMS, it finally entered many applications. Today, 2.5D and 3D stacking technologies are the only solution that meet the required performance of applications like AI and data center as for today. Stacking technologies are used in a variety of hardware, including 3D stacked memory, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and CMOS Image Sensor (CIS), are intended for the high/mid and low-end market segments.

Hardware like High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and CIS comprise the majority of TSV’s revenue. The overall stacking technologies market will exceed $5.5B in 2023 with a CAGR of 27%. As for today, the consumer market is the biggest contributor, with over 65% market share. But this, paradoxically, doesn’t mean that consumer is the driver for these technologies. In reality, HPC is the real driver for stacking technologies and will exhibit the fastest growth up to 2023, with market share doubling from 20% in 2018 to 40% in 2023. In terms of packaging revenue, this equates to a more than 6x increase from 2018’s revenue. Consequently, the consumer market’s share will decrease. Other markets like automotive, medical, and industrial will maintain their current market share.

(Yole Développement, January 2019)

FROM TSV TO WAFER-LEVEL STACKING, PACKAGING TECHNOLOGIES ARE FLOURISHING

Since the stacking battle is mostly between TSV-based and TSV-less technologies, these are the two categories Yole Développement considers in this report.

For today’s high-end market segment, the most popular 2.5D and 3D integration technologies on the market are based on TSV for 3D stacked memory, and TSV interposer for heterogeneous stacking. Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate (CoWos) technology is already widely used for HPC applications, and new TSV technologies will hit the market in 2019, i.e. Foveros from Intel, which is based on “active” TSV interposer and 3D SoC technology, with hybrid

bonding and TSV interconnections (potentially). The Foveros example shows that although TSV is being challenged by non-TSV technologies, companies still have faith in it.

We cannot neglect the emergence of TSV-less technologies in the market. These innovations can be placed into two groups: “with substrate” and “embedded in substrate”. Embedded Multidie Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) technology, already commercialized, is part of the embedded-in-substrate group, where the Si bridge is deep seating in the substrate. Other substrate technologies are being developed but are still not on the market, i.e.

TSV-less stacking technologies - 2018 overview


WHO IS BACKING AND CAPITALIZING ON STACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

Different players want their share of the growing $5.5B stacking market, and four different business models are today locked in a race to win a piece of the stacking business: foundries, IDMs, OSATs, and IP companies.

Foundries like TSMC, UMC, and GlobalFoundries dominate TSV heterogeneous stacking technologies due to their ability to produce the interposer in-house. Intel, with its “Foveros” technology, is the only IDM trying to compete in this sector. For 3D stacked

memory, the battle is between the “Big 3” IDMs: Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. These companies will continue to reign over the stacked memory market. Meanwhile, 3D SoC is a foundry technology, and it is likely that only one foundry will manufacture it, in order to ensure high yield and limit risks. Here, TSMC leads the time-to-market race over GlobalFoundries.

For the TSV-less technologies, the game is a bit more engaged between foundries, IDMs, OSATs, and substrate makers. Some players, like Samsung, Intel,

Integrated Thin Film High Density Organic Package (I-THOP) and Flip Chip - Embedded Interposer Carrier (FC-EIC).

With-substrate technologies are also used as alternatives to TSV, for example InFO on substrate, which is widely used in Apple’s processors. Also, redistribution layer (RDL) interposer technology is currently being developed and will hit the market by 2020. Last but not least, Fan Out Chip on Substrate

(FOCoS) was developed and commercialized in 2016, but seems to be lacking orders.

Hybrid bonding can bridge the two main categories (with TSV/without TSV). This technology’s particularity is that it can be simultaneously TSV challenger and teammate. Since 2016 it has been commonly used in smartphones’ CIS, and in the near future it will integrate the high-end market segment for memory and 2.5D as an interconnection solution.

TABLE OF CONTENTS (complete content on i-Micronews.com)

REPORT OBJECTIVES• Illustrate the impact of the semiconductor market’s mutation on packaging technologies• Outline three stacking technologies: through silicon via (TSV), 3D system-on-chip, and hybrid

bonding • Provide an overview of the markets requiring stacking technologies, along with updated market

data and forecasts • Describe the hardware and key applications that are/will use stacking technologies• Identify the main players and the supply chain for stacking technologies• Reference nascent solutions that may challenge some of the existing stacking technologies• Predict future applications where stacking technologies might be needed

and TSMC, are involved in “with” and “without” TSV technology development. ASE (an OSAT) introduced its FOCoS technology to the market in 2016, while other players like Amkor have developed their proper technologies but are still awaiting orders.

Concerning substrate companies like Shinko, Unimicron, and most recently Fujitsu Interconnect, they are all still in R&D.

Xperi, an IP company, will positively impact the market because its hybrid bonding technology is midway between “with” and “without-TSV” technologies. Xperi’s other advantage is that its technology is compatible with both high and mid/low-end segments.

Foundries, IDMs, and IP companies have the advantage over OSATs in stacking technologies, since the latter encounter difficulties in obtaining orders.
