05/20/2025 16:15:00 CEST Driving Panel-Level Packaging Advancements with New R&D Center and Strategic Expansion in Asia
Manz Asia, a global leader in semiconductor panel-level packaging equipment, is accelerating the mass production and commercialization of CoPoS (Chip-on-Panel-on-Substrate) technology. Leveraging nearly four decades of expertise in synchronized performance across wet processing, plating, and fully integrated automation, Manz Asia enables advancements in takt time, throughput, and uniformity—driving the industry's transition to panel-level packaging, a critical enabler for improving productivity and accommodating larger chip packaging demands.
With deep roots in the PCB, IC substrate, and display industries, Manz Asia has strategically expanded its focus into semiconductor advanced packaging. The introduction of CoPoS — the panelized evolution of CoWoS technology — has now become a widely recognized standard across the industry, helping drive the transformation from round to square packaging formats for next-generation devices.
Recognizing the pivotal role of redistribution layer (RDL) performance in conductivity, stability, and yield for CoPoS, Manz Asia has developed the latest highly specialized etching and plating equipment tailored to support various packaging structures and substrate types. In parallel, the company's commitment to green manufacturing and smart production practices is exemplified by its development of inkjet printing equipment, enables maskless, precise material deposition on substrates like PI, ABF, EMC, silicon, and glass. This simplifies metallization, boosting efficiency, sustainability, yield, and flexibility in semiconductor manufacturing.
Manz Asia sets up a Semiconductor Innovation and R&D Center in Taiwan to support equipment development, process validation, and customer sample projects.
To further accelerate innovation, Manz Asia has established a dedicated Semiconductor Innovation R&D Center, equipped with key Redistribution Layer (RDL) and metallization process equipment. This facility supports both experimental development and mass production validation, playing a vital role in optimizing process integration, system implementation, and overall production line efficiency. Through close collaboration with customers, the center enables faster commercialization of next-generation semiconductor packaging technologies.
"By establishing our R&D center, we are not only advancing CoPoS technologies but also reinforcing our leading position in the advanced panel-level packaging field," said Robert Lin, General Manager at Manz Asia. "At the same time, to meet the growing demand in advanced packaging, Manz Asia completed the purchasing agreement of Manz AG’s semiconductor-focused legal entity in Asia during Q2 2025. This strategic move strengthens our operational foundation, expands our regional footprint, and enhances our ability to support localized supply chains, delivering faster and more flexible service to customers worldwide."
Looking ahead, Manz Asia remains firmly committed to driving innovation in semiconductor packaging equipment. By collaborating closely with customers and industry partners, the company aims to deliver increasingly efficient, competitive, and sustainable solutions that address the evolving needs of the global semiconductor industry.
