07 Dec 2023 --- Toppan is building a factory for the development and mass production of next-generation semiconductor packages in Nomi, Japan. The company has entered into a sale and purchase agreement with OLED (organic light-emitting diode) developer and manufacturer Joled for the land and buildings at the Joled Nomi site. The printing technologies company plans to use the site to develop next-generation technology and construct a mass production line for Flip Chip Ball Grid Arrays (FC-BGAs) that meet the demand for high-speed transmission and chiplet use. FC-BGAs are high-density semiconductor packages for which significant growth is anticipated due to increased demand centered on use for data centers and generative AI. Toppan expects to launch the new line in 2027 and is considering the production of its existing electronics products at the Nomi site.
