bonding a wafer containing an array of devices to another wafer that provides both a reflective surface for maximum light extraction and a heat sink for thermal management. And of course, over the 5 past years, much attention has been given to this technology for 3D integration of memories for example.


Technology Trends


Yole Développement has estimated the wafer bonder to have big market growth for the next year. The growth will be driven small size wafer for LEDs and 12” wafer for 3D stacking and CIS.


Although EV Group is market leader in permanent bonding, the growth of the bonding equipment market is attracting challengers.


founder of Yole Développement, a market research company based in France. At Yole Développement, Dr. Eric Mounier is in charge of market analysis for MEMS, equipment & material.
