20 February 2020 - The global
Hermetic Packaging Market size was
valued at USD 2.83 billion in 2016 and is anticipated to reach USD 5.03 billion
by 2025. Packaging refers to the enclosures provided for products intended for
storage, sale, distribution and use. These packages involve tins, cans and are
barrier sealed to prevent air from entering into cans and help in preserving
the contents from decaying. This is one side of the story. An application for
hermetic sealing includes semiconductor electronics, thermostats, optical
devices, MEMS and switches. Prevention of foreign bodies and water bodies in
them is an essential requisite for maintaining proper functioning and
reliability.
Hermetic by standard
definition goes as being impervious to air. A cavity sealed microelectronic
package that passes both gross and fine leak test as per TM1014 test method is
named hermetic otherwise christened a “leaker”. The factors boosting hermetic
packages include high-performance and limitations in plastic encapsulate I.C
and ceramic packages on account of industry gravitating towards surface-mount
switches. Restraints for hermetic packages include the on-demand re-start of
hermetic lines as opposed to continuous production lines of plastic packages.
Segmentation of hermetic
packaging by configuration comprises multilayer ceramic packages, pressed ceramic
packages and metal can packages. Market by type is classified as ceramic-metal
sealing (CERTM), Glass Metal sealing (GTMS), Passivation glass, Transponder
glass and Reed Glass. Market by Application includes transistors, sensors,
lasers, photodiodes, airbag igniters, oscillating crystals, MEMS switches and
others. Market by end-user industry comprises military and defense, aeronautics
and space, automotives, energy and nuclear safety, medical, telecommunication
and others. By geography, the market is further segmented into North America,
Europe, Asia Pacific, MEA and Latin America.
Automotives are further broken
down into airbag initiation, battery protection and RFID transponder operation.
Energy and nuclear safety comprises electrical penetration control, oil and gas
applications, fuel cell manufacturing. Medical truncates into dental
applications and veterinary applications. MEM’s are proven devices of low-cost
and reliability such as gyroscopes and resonators and excel in restricting
chemically inert gases from escaping thanks to the hermetic packaging such as
discrete and wafer level hermetic packaging employed. Electronic packaging is a
science with hermetic ceramic packaging comprising I.C chips in
Dual-Inline-Package (DIP) form which is further divided into two main types
viz: multilayer ceramic packages (LTCC and HTCC) and pressed ceramic packages.
CERM sealing enables high
speed data transmission with minimum trace. H/LTCC offers significant
advantages and hence indicates vertical growth in this segment. Hermeticity or
hermetic packages to prevent moisture condensation from forming on IC chips and
causing corrosion or occurrence of electro-chemical reactions is reason to
hermetically seal the packages pursuant to military applications. Plastic encapsulate
microelectronics (PEM’s) are still finding favor o account of die passivation
and metallization technology but this is not the end for hermetic sealed
packages with their feature-rich characteristics will find favor in electronics
industry.
Hermetic connectors including
DC and RF connectors machined housing and integrated hermetic electronic
packaging are in use in extreme temperatures for carrying electric current in
and out of the housing and disallow ingress of dust or moisture to settle on the
electronic components. Connectors with specifications such as leak rate of
1x10-5 are hermetic. Target Audience includes OEM’s, OEM technology solution
providers, Research Institutes, Market research and consulting firms and
Technology Investors.
As a news article dated Aug
2016 suggests trends in food packaging have completely taken over the industry
with minimization of food waste and matters with severity such as using lesser
preservatives in food are here to stay. Key industry players include Teledyne
microelectronics, Schott AG, Ametek, Inc, Amkor Technology, Texas Instruments
Inc., Micross Components, Inc., Legacy Technologies, Kyocera Corporation, and
Materion Corporation.
