China's chipmakers bypass US export bans with advanced back-end packaging

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

China's back-end chipmaking sector is developing advanced packaging techniques to circumvent US export bans on front-end chipmaking equipment. Companies such as Naura, AMEC, and HuaHai Qingke are adapting front-end technologies like etching and CMP for applications such as hybrid bonding and wafer thinning. This strategy aims to enable the production of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and 3D stacked chips, effectively bypassing Western sanctions. AI

IMPACT China's advancements in back-end chip packaging could impact the global AI hardware supply chain and competition.
