Battle for Advanced Packaging: TSMC Monopoly, Intel Challenge, and Amkor Arms-Dealing

TSMC CoWoS Monopoly vs Intel EMIB Challenge

—TSMC has a monopoly on high-end AI packaging (CoWoS-L) but is expanding capacity to meet demand.
—Intel's EMIB is winning large customers (AWS, Google, Tesla) and offers better scaling for extremely large packages.

$TSM ↑看多中期

TSMC continues to dominate the AI accelerator packaging market and is rapidly expanding CoWoS capacity.

$INTC ↑看多長期

Intel's EMIB is the first real challenge to CoWoS, with significant design wins and a structural advantage in package size.

$AMKR ↑看多中期

Amkor and ASE benefit from overflow orders for simpler advanced packaging flows from TSMC.

先進封裝 ↑看多長期

Advanced packaging is becoming the critical bottleneck and differentiator for AI accelerator performance.

先進製程 ↑看多長期

Leading edge logic (N3/N2) requires advanced packaging to integrate with HBM.

—Organic substrates are hitting limits in size and yield due to warpage.
—Glass core substrates offer superior flatness, stiffness, and thermal properties for future massive 14x reticle packages.
—Intel is the first mover in glass, but Samsung and Rapidus are also entering the race.

先進封裝 ↑看多長期

Glass substrates represent the next technological transition in advanced packaging to support even larger chiplets.
