Where Unimicron sits in the stack
Unimicron's placements in this catalog cover 3 parts, from layer 1 (compute silicon & packaging) to layer 4 (servers, racks & integration). One of them is tagged constrained, meaning a sourced shortage rather than a long lead time. Across these parts it overlaps with other companies most often on the lines below.
What these parts are
- ABF / high-layer package substratesconstrained — The high-layer-count ABF substrates that an advanced chip package is mounted on, sitting between the interposer and the server board.
- Glass-core substrates — Substrates that use a glass core instead of an organic laminate, an emerging alternative aimed at the largest, most demanding AI packages.
- High-layer-count PCBs — The bare printed circuit boards themselves — high-density interconnect, backdrilled, 20 to 40 copper layers — that GPU and switch trays are built on.
