Asahi Kasei Corporation of Japan recently announced that due to a surge in demand driven by AI chips and limited production capacity, they plan to reduce the supply of photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) to some customers, raising concerns about the supply chain.
Why is this stuff so sought after?
The key is that it is truly a blessing for the "lazy people"!
When packaging chips, other materials need to be coated with a layer of photoresist first, then go through the hassle of etching lines, which is a lot of trouble.
PSPI is different; it comes with photosensitive properties, and you can just shine a laser on it, and the shape is fixed—saving a major step!
Just think about how much work this can save chip manufacturers!
Efficiency is skyrocketing; fewer processes mean real cost and time savings.
