Driving Forces in High-Bandwidth Memory
Intensifying global competition in high-bandwidth memory—spurred by heavyweights like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron—is rapidly accelerating the need for advanced packaging machinery. Massive production expansions and multi-year investments through 2035 have pushed the demand for sophisticated back-end solutions to unprecedented heights.
Concurrently, Chinese memory makers such as CXMT are scaling up their worldwide DRAM market share, creating an intense industry-wide race. To keep pace with this surging equipment demand, Hanmi is actively expanding its manufacturing infrastructure.
Next-Generation Equipment and Future Outlook
Innovations in Thermal Compression Bonding
The flagship TC Bonder lineup remains essential for vertically bonding DRAM dies as stacking layers increase and die thickness decreases. The newly introduced Wide TC Bonder specifically targets next-generation packaging processes engineered to handle larger semiconductor die sizes.
To support these developments, the corporation is investing 130 billion won to construct its eighth specialized production facility in Incheon. Through these consecutive global trade show appearances, Hanmi aims to cement brand recognition and forge critical partnerships with top-tier international chipmakers.
