[Research Report] The MEMS packaging market is expected to grow from 40.46 billion in 2022 to US$ 96.65 billion by 2030; it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.6% from 2022 to 2030.

MEMS Packaging Market Analyst Perspective:

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) advancements have historically focused on device functionality and sensitivity. However, due to the vast range of device dimensions and packages being device-specific, the packaging of MEMS devices has become a bottleneck. Despite the fact that the MEMS packaging market is expected to grow twice as quickly as the integrated circuit (IC) packaging sector, MEMS packaging remains one of the least investigated components of MEMS technology, accounting for up to 20-40% of total material and assembly costs. One critical challenge is the cleanliness of MEMS device surfaces after packaging, as contaminants may interfere with device performance and dependability.

To address these concerns, there are several sacrificial polymer-based airgap MEMS packaging as a low-cost, clean, IC-compatible, high-volume, semi-hermetic, wafer-level packaging solution. The goal is to stabilize and secure the mobile MEMS components within a protective envelope so that the MEMS chip can be treated like an integrated circuit (IC) and benefit from low-cost, high-volume IC packaging, such as lead-frame or plastic over molding. Complete thermal decomposition of a sacrificial polymer, poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC), encapsulated with overcoat materials such as BCB (Cyclotene) and epoxy-molding compound (EMC), and permeation of PPC decomposition products through the overcoat materials, are used in the airgap creation process.

The market is quickly expanding due to the numerous benefits these devices provide, such as their tiny size, low power consumption, and great dependability. The growing desire for miniaturization is one of the primary drivers of the MEMS packaging market. MEMS devices are becoming more appealing due to their compact dimensions as electronic gadgets continue to reduce in size. With the growing popularity of wearable electronics, there is an increasing demand for even smaller and more adaptable MEMS devices.

MEMS devices are also benefiting from the growing demand for electronic system reliability and safety. With an ever-expanding spectrum of applications for MEMS, there is also an increasing demand for components that can survive harsh environments or extreme circumstances, fit into a compact form factor, and perform reliably. MEMS devices require housings for a variety of reasons, and these housings are an important component of the system since they serve as the interface between the real MEMS and the rest of the device and the rest of the world.

MEMS Packaging Market Overview:

The MEMS packaging market is anticipated to grow in demand as global demand for smart automotive solutions rises. The growing need for linked devices and consumer electronics is projected to fuel the sensor market. Furthermore, global industrial sensor Utilization is expanding due to the increasing applications of sensors, fueling demand for MEM devices. MEMS packaging has developed from packaging MEMS devices to packaging MEMS systems as MEMS device applications have grown dramatically. Innovative and efficient packaging techniques, as well as innovative packaging materials, are becoming increasingly vital.

Among the driving developments in the market is the recent technological development of CMOS-compatible MEMS manufacturing techniques for low-temperature wafer bonding and other single-chip integration. Another new development is the use of bare wafer stacks for low-cost, lead-free semiconductor packaging. This allows for the creation of low-cost, small-pin packaging for high-volume manufacture. The growing popularity of MEMS is also fueling fresh demand in the embedded die MEMS packaging market. The technology is not new to the MEMS packaging market, but its high cost and low yields have limited it to niche uses despite the enormous potential for future improvement. Advances in Bluetooth and RF modules, as well as the rise of WiFi-6, will very certainly boost investment in this technology.

The increasing popularity of MEMS devices is also prompting MEMS packaging providers to develop more novel packaging strategies to improve the efficiency and operational performance of these devices. T-SMART, a major semiconductor manufacturing business in 2021, is developing a new MEMS packaging method based on Heterogeneous Integration for the thermopile sensor. Furthermore, MEMS packaging is more difficult than IC packaging, according to IEEE, due to the diversity of MEMS devices and the need for multiple devices to be in contact with and shielded from the environment at the same time. MEMS packaging also presents issues such as die handling, die attachment, interfacial tension, and outgassing. These novel MEMS packaging problems necessitate immediate R&D activities.
