Flip chips, also referred to as direct chip attach, involve the process of attaching interconnecting dies, such as semiconductor devices, integrated circuit (IC) chips, integrated passive devices, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), directly to a substrate or carrier with the bond pad side facing down. This method offers several advantages, including reduced costs, high packaging density, enhanced circuit reliability, and compact dimensions. In the flip-chip packaging process, the chip is connected to the substrate of the package carrier. Any surface of a flip chip can be interconnected, typically using materials such as copper, nickel, or soldered metal bumps. These bumps, placed on the die surface, facilitate the electrical connection between the device and the substrate of the package.
The main types of flip chip packaging technologies include 3D IC, 2.5D IC, and 2D IC. 3D ICs involve creating an integrated circuit (IC) in three dimensions by stacking various chips or wafers vertically into a single package. Different flip chip bumping technologies include copper pillar, solder bumping, tin-lead eutectic solder, and lead-free solder. Flip chips find applications across various industries such as electronics, heavy machinery and equipment, IT and telecommunications, automotive, and others.

The growth of the flip chips market is expected to be propelled by the increasing sales of electronic products during the forecast period. Flip chip technology plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance of portable electronic devices, especially those operating at higher frequencies, making them suitable for applications in ultrasonic and microwave operations. Renowned for its high overall system efficiency, low inductance, and space-saving attributes, flip chip technology is integral to the design of electronic equipment. According to estimates by Gartner, a prominent US-based consulting firm, the global installed base of electronic devices is projected to reach 6.4 billion units in 2022, indicating a 3.2% increase from the previous year. This surge in electronic product sales significantly contributes to the growth of the flip chips market.
The growing demand for wearable devices is anticipated to drive the expansion of the flip chips market in the coming years. Wearable devices are small electronic gadgets designed to be worn on the body, often featuring sensors and connectivity capabilities for a variety of functions. Flip chip technology plays a crucial role in these devices by enabling data processing, sensor integration, and wireless communication in products like smartwatches and fitness trackers. For example, in March 2022, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, a UK-based consulting firm, reported that there were 320 million consumer health and wellness wearable devices in 2022, with projections indicating an increase to nearly 440 million by 2024. This category encompasses devices such as watches, hearing aids, and other assistive technologies. Thus, the rising demand for wearable devices is significantly contributing to the growth of the flip chips market.
Technological advancements are emerging as a significant trend in the flip chip market. Companies in this sector are actively developing innovative technologies to enhance their competitive position. For instance, in September 2023, Dahua, a China-based company specializing in video surveillance solutions, launched its new Flip Chip on Board (COB) LED display, known as the CH II.
