2009 TPCA advanced technical seminar and purpose-driven debut BBS 6, the first speech by Prismark Jiang Xugao kick off, Dr Theme of PCB technology development trend and market opportunity analysis. Jiang Xugao said, compared to the semiconductor industry, PCB technology development speed is quite slow, since 2000, global PCB production almost no change, but Taiwan PCB factory output is increased one times, after the financial storm, Taiwan PCB factory show amazing viability, expected in the next 1-2 years, Taiwan PCB industry will become the leading position.
Said Dr Jiang Xugao Taiwan PCB industry after late last year and early this year low, have significant growth in the second quarter, the hard phase is over, now began to recovery, demand in the second half was better than the second quarter, outlook 2010 tend to be optimistic. Especially after the stage after the adjustment, found Taiwan PCB factory viability and cost control ability, is in a very tough environment, survive, and create profits, in the global PCB industry special outstanding performance, expected in the next 1-2 years, Taiwan PCB industry will be promoted the global leading position.
Jiang Xugao pointed out that in 2000, the global PCB production value of $40 billion, by 2008, to grow slightly to $48 billion, forecasts for 2009, and will decline to $40 billion. Although since 2000 to 2009, global PCB production change is not large, or even no growth, but Taiwan PCB production value is more than double, is mainly by the market of mainland China, but China's "brand" how long can play, this is a "question mark", Taiwan PCB factory must to develop higher technology and added value products, to share, solid city stand out.
Jiang Xugao pointed out that the PCB is the most important of all electronic system components, all the IC components have to be on top of PCB, including point and point, element and element, the connection between line and line. In recent years, electronic products, there are two major trends, first, all the products become smaller, slowly into a lightweight, portable, neither semiconductor, PCB, materials to achieve the goal of thin. Second, information transmission speed faster and faster, the power flow is becoming more and more big, to high frequency technology development at the same time, in addition to the heat dissipation function better, the signal after PCB, also cannot be affected by too much, so on the material, the process must conform to the system demand.
Jiang Xugao said, however, Taiwan PCB if compared with the semiconductor technology, the speed of technological development is quite slow, semiconductor technology every once in a while, there is a new generation of innovation, but PCB process in recent 10 years is not too big change.
Jiang Xugao pointed out that the incredible Taiwan PCB technology advances slowly, mainly because the device process above overly dependent on European and American manufacturers, because of Europe and the United States, and even Japanese PCB factory profits in recent years has been reduced, for investment and development on the equipment has the very big impact, also indirectly affect the development of Taiwan PCB technology. Compared, it is worth mentioning is the progress of laser technology, especially for HDI board. In addition, is the progress of the above materials, including halogen free, lead-free, LowDK, LowDF products, at this stage the CCL factory invested more actively. In addition, also including IC loading board packaging technology, RigidBoard laminated plate, optical communication with boards, soft hard couple FlexbleBoards, etc.
Jiang Xugao said that 10 years ago, in fact, these technologies are already talking about, so the PCB technology does not change fast, so also give manufacturers a lot of opportunity, if you can master in time, and lower production costs, you can win more market, which is why Taiwan PCB factory may outshine others in the global PCB industry in recent years, but the future challenge is the largest profit, so Taiwan PCB factory must forward to advanced technology, high additional value field.
