Prominent Analyst: TSMC's Next-Generation Advanced Packaging Technology Expected to Begin Mass Production in the Second Half of 2028
BlockBeats News, June 11th - Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from TF International Securities published an article stating that TSMC's next-generation advanced packaging technology, CoWoS, is expected to enter mass production in the second half of 2028. It is designed for ultra-large-scale packaging exceeding 9.5 times the reticle size, and NVIDIA's Feiman AI chip may become the first adopter.
CoWoS adopts a glass core substrate structure, sandwiching glass between ABF build layers using glass carriers and panels of a specific size. The glass serves as neither a glass interposer nor a replacement for ABF. The chip is bonded on the ABF surface, clarifying several industry misunderstandings.
Public information shows that CoWoS offers a larger panel platform and space, making it ideal for integrating the CPO's optical elements (such as light engines and couplers). Future high-end AI packaging may potentially adopt both CoWoS (large substrates) and CPO (optical I/O) to form a complete solution.

German equipment manufacturer SCHMID has disclosed that it is collaborating with core firms in the supply chains of Intel, Nvidia, and AMD to develop glass substrate production equipment. Glass substrates are expected to replace silicon interposers, enhancing packaging density and data transmission capacity, and allowing for the integration of more HBMs. However, obstacles remain in the TGV metallization process, end-customer certification has not yet been completed, and large-scale commercialization will still take time.
