Three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuits (ICs) are semiconductor devices where multiple layers of circuits are vertically stacked to form a single, compact unit. This vertical stacking allows for higher integration density, enhanced performance, and a smaller footprint compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) ICs.
The primary components of three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuits (ICs) include through-glass vias (TGVs), silicon vias (TSVs), and others. Through-glass vias are tiny holes or channels created through a glass substrate to enable electrical signals to pass between different layers of a 3D IC, using glass as an insulating material due to its dielectric properties. The technology types include 3D stacked integrated circuits (ICs), monolithic 3D integrable circuits (ICs), and various integration and packaging types for applications such as aerospace and industrial, telecommunication and information technology (IT), automotive, consumer electronics, medical, industrial, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the 3D integrated circuits market by increasing costs of semiconductor wafers, advanced packaging materials, and precision manufacturing equipment used in vertical integration processes. These effects are most pronounced in consumer electronics, automotive, and telecommunications segments, particularly in Asia-Pacific regions such as China, Taiwan, and South Korea where fabrication is concentrated. Higher costs have slightly slowed adoption timelines, but tariffs have also encouraged local manufacturing, regional supply chain diversification, and increased investment in domestic semiconductor packaging capabilities, supporting long-term market resilience.
