Demand for IC package substrates specifically FC-BGAs, continues to grow. Work-from-home, video conferencing, and remote learning are driving datacenter growth and laptop and tablet demand. At the same time the industry is experiencing acute shortages substrates because capacity expansion has not kept up with demand, especially with the increased body size and layer counts. A new plant requires more than a year to complete, plus the substrate line must be qualified. What can the industry do in the interim to meet demand? What changes are required in the industry to fix our broken model? This presentation addresses the challenges and discusses potential solutions.
