[Express Train Episode 75] SFA Semiconductor Holds Core Flip-Chip Technology

SFA Semiconductor specializes in the production of semiconductor assembly and test products, which are part of the semiconductor industry's back-end process. It provides semiconductor packaging solutions to leading global semiconductor companies such as Samsung Electronics, Micron, and SK Hynix.

The packaging industry is rapidly transforming into a technology-driven sector due to continuous technological advancements and intense competition, moving beyond simple manufacturing in response to future semiconductor package trends and the demands of device manufacturers. High entry barriers exist for new companies due to large-scale facility investments and associated transition costs and risks.

Recently, as semiconductor packages have become highly integrated and miniaturized, the packaging market based on Flip Chip technology has experienced continuous annual growth. Consequently, market demand for the bumping process, a core technology of Flip Chip, is increasing.
