Key Investment Thesis

Large MCM packages (>100mm x 100mm) face acute CTE thermal mismatch, dropping vacuum lamination yields to 48–54%. Ibiden has booked delivery queues through Q3 2027 (56-78 weeks) and instituted customer quota rationing with 15–20% ASP hikes.
⚡ What Changed This Week:

Customer rationing quotas officially expanded across non-Nvidia Tier-1 ASIC accounts.

What Would Change My Mind? (Falsification Criteria)

I am strongly bullish, but I would turn cautious if any of the following triggers occur:

  • [1]Unimicron or Shennan achieve >75% lamination yield on 28-layer boards ahead of schedule.
  • [2]Accelerated commercialization of glass core substrates prior to 2027.
