It accurately measures layer-to-layer alignment, surface topography and coplanarity. All these capabilities are essential for maintaining yield and quality.Significance of Bruker’s InSight WLI SystemAs AI becomes increasingly embedded in consumer and industrial technologies, the chips powering these systems must deliver higher performance, faster data processing and greater energy efficiency. To meet these demands, semiconductor manufacturers are turning to advanced packaging — a transformative approach that enables the integration of multiple chips into a single, compact package. Advanced packaging supports multi-die stacking and heterogeneous integration, combining chips for processors, memory and accelerators into unified systems. This architecture is essential for AI workloads, which require high bandwidth, low latency and power efficiency. However, it also introduces new manufacturing challenges in precision alignment and structural integrity. Because of these challenges, Bruker’s advanced metrology solutions have become important for maintaining performance and reliability.Image Source: Zacks Investment ResearchIndustry Prospects Favoring Bruker StockPer a Global Market Insights report, the global advanced packaging market was valued at $38.50 billion in 2024 and is estimated to witness a compound annual growth rate of 11.5% (to reach $111.40 billion) by 2034.
