Global 3D ICs Market to Log 18.1% CAGR till 2019 with Growing Demand from Consumer Electronics and ICT Industries

The global 3D ICs market, valued at USD 2,408.2 million in 2012, is expected to see strong growth with 18.1% CAGR during 2013 to 2019. Global semiconductor industry is witnessing shift to 3D IC technology as it provides greater opportunity for developing a broader set of electronic systems and products with exceptional speed, reduction in the chip size, and low power consumption. Rising demand for solutions with improved performance and reduced response time, and growing number of portable devices such as smart-phones and tablets are some of the major factors to drive adoption of 3D ICs. However, high manufacturing and testing cost, lack of foundries and assembly houses to support this technology, thermal and testing issues, are some of the key challenges currently limiting the 3D ICs market growth worldwide.

3D IC technology finds its applications in various end-use sectors such as consumer electronics, military, information and communication technology, automotive and aerospace among others. IC manufacturers use different fabrication process for 3D ICs, depending upon requirements of the circuit system such as beam re-crystallization, wafer bonding, silicon epitaxial growth and solid phase crystallization.
