- Hybrid bonding reduces chip-to-chip pitch below 1µm versus 20µm for microbumps, enabling higher connection density and bandwidth critical for AI systems.
- Technology already commercialized in CIS sensors, NAND flash, and logic ($AMD V-Cache); SK hynix targeting 400+ layer NAND with hybrid bonding by 2027.
- Hybrid bonding delivers 11.9x speed, 100x+ heat dissipation, and 15x integration density improvements over TCB, becoming foundational for HBM and AI accelerators.
Hybrid bonding is transitioning from niche sensor/logic applications to foundational HBM and AI accelerator packaging technology, with sub-1µm pitches enabling the 3D stacking architectures required for next-generation AI infrastructure.
