The 3D chip architecture results in compactness of the IC by enabling several layers to be stacked on each other. 3D ICs find applications in smart device applications, photonics, imaging, and advanced logic. Microelectronic device manufacturers implementing 3D chip stacking by utilizing through-silicon via (TSV) chips as chip interconnects. These chips must be packaged with their interconnectors as these chips are designed differently. Further, development of 3D ICs has led to the introduction of 3D IC WLP in the wafer mounting machine market. The transition towards 3D structures is one of the key factors positively impacting the wafer mounter equipment market.
