POSITIONING

Key Technical Breakthrough:
Precise Height Control & Packaging Reliability

The biggest challenge for customers is height uniformity constraints with electroplated copper pillars, leading to voids or bridging during stacking. Modular technology uses pre-fabricated pillars combined with high-precision curing adhesive — no reliance on real-time electroplating growth.

WHERE IT FITS

Application Scenarios

Copper pillar modules have been deployed across these five major application areas, covering diverse reliability and cost requirements from high-performance computing to RF modules.

01

AI Servers & High-Performance Computing

AI SERVER / HPC

Pain Points

In 2.5D/3D IC stacking, signal integrity and thermal dissipation between HBM and compute chips are the primary bottlenecks — traditional solder ball pitch cannot meet high-bandwidth demands.

Entry Points

Fine pitch copper pillar modules provide short conduction paths and low resistance/inductance. Bidirectional interlocking architecture enhances vertical thermal conductivity, ideal for multi-layer stacking interposer applications.

Recommended Series

G1 (R&D Validation) / G4-G5 (Mass Production)

02

Power Semiconductor Modules

POWER MODULE / SiC・GaN

Pain Points

Power components must carry large currents while facing reliability challenges under high-temperature cycling — traditional underfill materials are prone to solder cracking due to CTE mismatch.

Entry Points

The G1 series supports 3–5A/pin high-current design. Curing adhesive provides superior mechanical support compared to traditional underfill, reducing failure risks caused by thermal stress.

Recommended Series

G1 (High-Current Design) / G3 (Stable Mass Production)

03

Consumer Electronics SiP Modules

WEARABLES / MOBILE SiP

Pain Points

In 2.5D/3D IC stacking, signal integrity and thermal dissipation between HBM and compute chips are the primary bottlenecks — traditional solder ball pitch cannot meet high-bandwidth demands.

Entry Points

Fine pitch copper pillar modules provide short conduction paths and low resistance/inductance. Bidirectional interlocking architecture enhances vertical thermal conductivity, ideal for multi-layer stacking interposer applications.

Recommended Series

G1 (R&D Validation) / G4-G5 (Mass Production)

04

Automotive Electronics

AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICS

Pain Points

Automotive standards demand long-term high-temperature stability and strict coplanarity tolerances — conventional packaging technologies struggle to meet both reliability and cost requirements simultaneously.

Entry Points

Coplanarity < 1mil (better than JEDEC standards), combined with full-line AOI inspection, meets automotive demands for consistency and traceability.

Recommended Series

G3 (Standard Solution) / G4-G5 (Based on Power Requirements)

05

RF / Millimeter-Wave Modules

RF & mmWave MODULES

Pain Points

High-frequency signals are extremely sensitive to impedance matching and signal loss — the inductance effects of traditional solder ball structures degrade high-frequency performance.

Entry Points

Short conduction paths reduce parasitic inductance. Combined with the low dielectric loss of ceramic solutions, this meets the demands of 5G/6G and satellite communication modules.

FAQ

Technical Q&A

Why Choose Copper Pillar Modules Over Traditional Solder Balls?
Traditional solder balls are limited by surface tension, resulting in larger pitch and a tendency to collapse. Copper pillar modules offer finer pitch and shorter conduction paths, significantly reducing resistance and inductance to meet the extreme signal integrity and power delivery demands of modern AI and HPC applications.
  1. Process Barrier — Copper Pillar Bumps must be fabricated in a semiconductor fab using expensive masks and electroplating equipment with enormous capex. Modules standardize copper pillar technology into a component format, enabling equivalent high-density interconnects on standard SMT lines.
  2. Flexibility & Cycle Time — The Bump process is extremely unfriendly to small batches or diverse designs with long lead times. Modules support fully customized heights and layouts, enabling rapid prototyping without millions in wafer mask costs.
  3. Structural Support — Modules combine integrated molding and curing adhesive technology, providing better mechanical support than bare bumps, effectively solving warpage issues in large-format packages.
Yes — that’s the core value proposition. Modules offer excellent SMT compatibility with no need for expensive wafer-bonding equipment. Through calculated pad compensation (+50–100μm), tilt and offset errors during assembly are perfectly absorbed, enabling accurate high-volume production using your existing high-speed pick-and-place machines.
With traditional Copper Pillar Bumps, height variation between wafer edge and center during electroplating often leads to voids or open circuits during stacking. Through “Pre-fabricated Pillar” technology, every pillar is precisely calibrated before shipment (coplanarity < 2mil), fundamentally eliminating the physical limitations of electroplating equipment and ensuring absolute height consistency after stacking.
