Continues to Expand Share in High-Performance
Computing, Co-Packaged Optics & Leading-Edge Heterogeneous
Integration
SINGAPORE, Nov. 15,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kulicke and Soffa
Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:
KLIC) ("Kulicke & Soffa", "K&S",
"we" or the "Company") announced today that the Company has
received multiple orders for its Thermocompression Bonding (TCB)
solutions, primarily supporting Silicon Photonics (SiPh) based
Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) applications deployed in high-bandwidth
networking transceivers. K&S anticipates a series of follow on
CPO orders to support aggressive capacity expansion plans
throughout fiscal years 2024 and 2025. CPO units are anticipated to
grow at a 66% CAGR through calendar year 2033 and represent only an
individual component to the much larger Artificial Intelligence
(AI) opportunity.

Kulicke & Soffa's high-performance advanced packaging
solutions are an increasingly critical enabler for leading-edge
scaling which is allowing higher bandwidth networks, faster machine
learning applications and more advanced mobility features. Over
recent years, the Company has taken share in several key AI growth
markets including high-performance computing, CPO, &
leading-edge heterogeneous integration applications. K&S will
continue to directly support the significant long-term growth of
these markets as Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more
ingrained into everyday life.
Today, AI is transforming machine learning, network
infrastructure and edge-device requirements by demanding capable
and cost-effective approaches to support stacked or planar
multi-die applications. These heterogeneous, or chiplet,
applications are being deployed in high-bandwidth memory;
enterprise logic (GPU, CPU, TPU); and high-volume application
processors and communications devices. As these markets continue to
transition from flip-chip technology, the Company anticipates
significant opportunities.
Over the past few years, K&S has leveraged its competencies
in TCB, 2.5D and 3D packaging types to take share in high-volume
logic, CPO, and leading-edge heterogeneous applications. Demand for
K&S TCB solutions has increased dramatically over recent years
and recent market demand has caused the TCB business to be
supply-chain limited over the near-term.
"Our capable, performance-focused advanced packaging solutions
are driving significant market interest, as they efficiently
address many emerging assembly challenges. Our unique solutions
provide precision control and critical features, which unlock
meaningful value for the most challenging optical, high-volume
logic and emerging heterogeneous applications. These recent orders
highlight our leadership in TCB, but also validate the growth
potential of the emerging advanced packaging marketplace," said
John Molnar, K&S Vice President
& General Manager, Advanced Solutions.
Kulicke & Soffa's thermocompression revenue has grown at a
149% CAGR since 2020. The Company is currently running production
and several parallel evaluations for new process steps at leading
foundry, integrated device manufacturers and outsourced
semiconductor assembly and test providers.
