Article by Daniel Schmidt ATOTECH e Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is solidify- ing its leadership in electronics manufactur- ing, fueled by significant new investments from global industry leaders. is growth is driven by surging demand for high-performance compo- nents in key sectors like AI, autonomous vehi- cles, and sustainable energy, making strategic innovation in semiconductors and advanced electronics essential. APAC's strong supply chains further enhance its appeal to investors. Transforming Electronics Manufacturing e electronics industry's shi to 3D het- erogeneous integration—assembling chips on organic substrates—is driving demand for new materials, processes, and technologies. is innovation, combined with the industry's increasing presence in APAC, leverages the region's robust manufacturing capabilities and investment opportunities, positioning it for substantial growth. Meeting the Challenges of Advanced Technologies e rise of AI, renewable energy systems, and autonomous vehicles has created a demand for components that are faster, smaller, and capa- ble of handling immense data loads. Essen- tial for miniaturization and high-speed appli- cations, next-generation technologies using electrochemical deposition for semiconduc- tor advanced packaging, semi-additive process- ing (SAP) for package substrates, or modified SAP (mSAP) at the printed circuit board level enable the much finer feature sizes required for increased density and fast signaling. In addition, The Future of Electronics Manufacturing in APAC 46 PCB007 MAGAZINE I JANUARY 2025
