Fan-Out Packaging can be understood in several ways depending on who we are talking to. It is especially confusing because when the hype around this

package type began, many players used the name ‘Fan-Out’ to describe their solution to gain more attention in the market.

An even more confusing aspect is that acknowledged Fan-Out solutions are not, or were not, called ‘Fan-Out’ by their creators. For instance, Infineon,

creator of eWLB, one of the most widespread Fan-Out solutions, had not even called it ‘Fan-Out’ in its IP and referred to it for a long time as an

‘embedded die’ solution.

An acknowledged characteristic of ‘Fan-Out’ packages is that, as the name suggests, interconnections are fanned out on the chip and because of that, bumping

is not dependent on die surface.

This means that Fan-Out has the potential to achieve any number of interconnects with standard pitches at any shrink stage of the wafer node

technology.

If the only definition of ‘Fan-Out’ is a package from which connections and bumping are out of the chip scale, then almost all packages can be defined as Fan-

Out. Flip-Chip BGA, Flip-Chip CSP, Embedded Die, etc. Due to this, confusion is high in the industry.

To make a fair comparison and to clarify the situation, Yole focuses on selected Fan-Out technologies that have at least one of these 2 key characteristics:

Fan-Out solutions that use mold compound to embed the dies—not laminated materials.

Fan-Out solutions that do not use IC substrates (PCB type of interposers) to fan out of chip area

Fan-Out’s role in this?

Reducing single unit die size by integrating a number of smaller dies helps to improve the gross die yield. The industryplayers recognize this, and they are starting to split large dies into two or four smaller dies for processing, in order toresolve the yield loss and maintain the same bandwidth requirement by means of advanced packaging.

There are few approaches that have potential to support higher die-to-die bandwidth. It can be either data rate boostfrom driver circuit enhancement or by increasing inter-chip RDL line density. For the former choice, the high data ratecan be achieved at the cost of complex driver circuit, large die area, longer latency, or higher power consumption.Alternatively, fine line inter-chip interconnect can be deployed. Fan-Out Packaging is one of the technology that canpotentially increase finer line interconnections between dies, without any FEOL processes, yet offer significant costbenefits with less production line/flow change and need for re-planning.

As interconnections between multi-dies cater for more than 10 thousand I/Os, extremely fine pitch BGA substratetechnology is necessary. However, it becomes a great challenge to BGA substrate manufacturing and causes loss on yieldand increased cost. Moreover, the resulting reliability issues increase during the extreme environment test underhigh/low temperature and humidity conditions. Hence, many fabless players, like Mediatek and HiSilicon, have beenactively qualifying UHD FO. Preliminary data (from MediaTek’s technical paper*) showed Fan-Out Packaging can handlethe bandwidth and high speed SERDES signal. So, Fan-Out Packaging can indeed increase the gross die size and improvethe wafer yield when the silicon die size is usually enormous and suffers low yield issues, especially in advanced waferprocess. TSMC’s inFO_MiM (MUST-in-MUST) is targeting 3DIC stacking for HPC applications, to realize in-package near-memory computing.

Lastly, Fan-Out Packaging’s relative cost, as compared to 2.5D Silicon interposers, is considered a cheaper alternative.Eventually, Fan-Out Packaging can find space in lower end side of higher-end applications. While Fan-Out Packaging role inHPCs is at its infancy stage, its potential is huge.

UHD FO: TSMC INFO_OS & INFO_MS FOR HPCS

TSMC’s UHD FO is addressing lower-cost HPCs

TSMC led UHDFO with its inFOderivatives such as inFO_oS and inFO_MS for networking and AI inferencing applications respectively, in a mid-to-high end HPC market.

Fan-Out WLP and PLP Technologies 2021 | Sample | www.yole.fr | ©2021

UHD FO packaging platforms like TSMC’s InFO_MS & inFO_oS offer an alternative solution to TSMC’s CoWoS forapplications that seek cost/performance optimization in the mid-to-high end HPC market. TSMC is positioning CoWoS(2.5D interposer technology) as a premium high-density interconnected platform to offer high computing performanceand high memory bandwidth to meet HPC AI training needs in clouds, data centers, and high-end servers. On the otherhand, the InFO derivative technologies, InFO_oS, and inFO_MS, offer the best cost/performance integration solution forspecific HPC applications, such as networking and low-latency AI inference, respectively.

READINESS FOR FOPLP

PTI, Nepes Laweh& Samsung Electronics have entered production in 2018. We are expecting these players to continue production through 2020.

ASE is expected to be running HVM by 2022.

ESWIN is potentially the first FOPLP player in China to run LVM production by 2022

FAN-OUT PRODUCTION CARRIERS: FOWLPVS FOPLP PENETRATION RATE

Panel will progressively take a share of production but still in a limited way.

FOPLP is expected to take off when big die applications are adopted.
