- Die attach machine, also known as die mount or die bond machine, is used to attach the silicon chip to the die cavity or die pad of the support structure of a semiconductor package. This process is done by two processes: eutectic die attach and adhesive die attach. Die attach equipment is used in both processes to mount the die in the semiconductor package.
- Die attach materials such as epoxy, polyimide, and silver-filled glass is used in the adhesive die attach process for mounting the die on the die cavity or die pad, whereas the eutectic die attach process uses eutectic alloy to attach the die to the cavity.
- The global die attach machine market is projected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period, due to increasing demand for die attach machines from the semiconductor sector.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Die Attach Machine Market
- Increasing cases of COVID-19 across the globe is resulting in economic slowdown. The impact of COVID-19 is being seen in every sector of the economy, including the global semiconductor industry. However, COVID-19 does not significantly impact the demand for equipment. For instance, in April 2020, Palomar Technologies announced that it is seeing demand for critical semiconductor components. The company said that it has seen an acceleration of orders for its 3880 die attach machines for remote machine equipment, medical devices, and robotics. Hence, demand for equipment has not dropped due to COVID-19. This, in turn, is projected to propel the global die attach machine market in the coming years.
North America to Hold Major Share of the Global Die Attach Machine Market
- In terms of region, the global die attach machine market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America
- North America dominated the global die attach machine market in 2019, due to presence of well-established and technologically advanced manufacturers in the region. The U.S. is a key market in North America, due to increasing production of electronics in the region.
- The die attach machine market in Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period. This can be attributed to mass production of electronic products, such as wearable devices, smartphones, and white goods, in China and Taiwan.
