This acquisition is aimed at broadening Ardian's semiconductor equipment portfolio and reinforcing its position within the European power-semiconductor sector through enhanced innovation and operational efficiency. Centrotherm international AG specializes in designing and manufacturing equipment for power semiconductor production.

Emerging Trends and Opportunities in Semiconductor Capital Equipment
Companies in this sector are increasingly focusing on heterogeneous chip integration and system-level packaging techniques like hybrid bonding to boost performance and functionality. Hybrid bonding creates a direct connection between chip surfaces, typically combining metallic and insulating layers, which improves connectivity and efficiency.
For example, in July 2023, Applied Materials unveiled new materials and systems designed to aid chipmakers in integrating chiplets into advanced 2.5D and 3D packages using hybrid bonding and through-silicon vias (TSVs). These innovations complement Applied Materials' extensive technology portfolio for heterogeneous integration (HI), which allows manufacturers to combine chiplets of varying functions, technology nodes, and sizes into a single package that functions cohesively. This strategy addresses the rising demand for transistors in high-performance computing and AI. As traditional transistor scaling becomes more expensive and less effective, HI offers a strategic pathway to improve chip performance, power efficiency, cost, and time to market.
