In 2025, Artificial Intelligence (AI) once more was the defining theme in the semiconductor ecosystem and emerged as a cornerstone of macroeconomic growth – with ~92% of U.S. GDP growth in H1 2025 driven by investment in AI data centers and the supporting technology, according to Harvard economist Jason Furman.

Modern AI systems rely on tightly interconnected & densely integrated packages – large AI modules that combine high-performance logic dies with stacks of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) via 2.5D & 3D packaging.

We at SUSS provide the manufacturing solutions behind this, setting new standards with our bonders, coaters, imaging and, going forward, wafer-cleaning solutions. Our UV-Scanner, used at the #1 foundry for stitchless, high throughput & high yield exposure, and our temporary bonding solutions, adopted by two out of three IDMs in HBM production, are just two examples.

Looking ahead, the AI ecosystem will continue to evolve rapidly – with SUSS as a key contributor. In 2025, we added high-precision hybrid bonder solutions to our portfolio ideal for 3D logic & memory stacking. In parallel, we began developing a panel UV Scanner, launching in 2026 to support AI-module production on panels.

AI is reshaping the global economy, driving the semiconductor market toward the one-trillion-dollar market and setting new standards for advanced packaging. SUSS is at the heart of this development, turning AI roadmaps into robust manufacturing solutions.
