Global ABF Substrates for Server & HPC Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global ABF Substrates for Server & HPC market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1,265 million in 2025 to US$ 3,709 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.9% from 2026 to 2032.

ABF (Ajinomoto Build-up Film) substrate (or FC BGA ), a type of semiconductor substrate, connects high-integrated semiconductor chips and substrates using flip-chip bumps, enhancing electrical and thermal characteristics. It is mainly used in CPUs (Central Processing Units) and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) for PCs, servers, networks, and automobiles.

Server ABF Substrates are the most technically challenging among semiconductor substrates, and only a few global companies are capable of mass production of high-end server substrates. Server CPUs and GPUs require multiple semiconductor chips to be installed on a single substrate to accommodate high performance such as improved processing power and signal speed. Therefore, server FCBGA substrates are more than four times the size of standard ABF Substrates for PCs and have more than twice the number of layers, exceeding 20 layers. As such, server ABF Substrates requires advanced manufacturing technology and dedicated facilities to enhance product reliability and production yield due to the large size of the substrate and high number of layers, making it a challenging field for new entrants.

Current the key players of Server ABF Substrates include Ibiden, Unimicron, Nan Ya PCB, Shinko Electric Industries, Kinsus Interconnect Technology, AT&S, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics, etc. Ibiden is the largest manufacturer of ABF substrate.

The server market for data centers is expected to expand thanks to the progress of digitization, such as the spread of ICT, as well as the evolution of AI and the improvement of the level of autonomous driving. In addition to semiconductor front-end processes (IC chips), the importance and added value of the back-end processes (ABF substrates) are also increasing.
