SemiAnalysis says ASML is likely building a die-to-wafer hybrid bonding tool
Overview
SemiAnalysis says ASML is likely building a die-to-wafer hybrid bonding tool, though ASML has not announced one.
The estimate rests on 27 bonding patent families ASML filed between December 2022 and November 2024, according to the firm's newsletter article. The design moves each die on its own holder along a track past process stations, and SemiAnalysis says ASML could draw on its alignment and particle-control expertise from lithography.
SemiAnalysis also says advanced logic chipmakers will likely adopt the tool first, which would weigh on Besi's business. The initial report was a social media post from @SemiAnalysis_ that linked to the full article.
