SkyWater Enters License Agreement with Xperi for Hybrid Bonding Technology

Hybrid bonding capability strongly complements SkyWater’s developing portfolio of heterogeneous integration solutions including silicon interposer and fan-out packaging

SkyWater Technology (NASDAQ: SKYT), the trusted technology realization partner, and Adeia, the newly launched brand for the IP licensing business of Xperi Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: XPER) (“Xperi”), today announced that SkyWater signed a technology licensing agreement with Xperi Corporation. SkyWater and its customers will now have access to Adeia’s ZiBond® direct bonding and DBI® hybrid bonding technology and IP to enhance next generation devices for commercial and government applications. This technology adds to SkyWater’s developing heterogeneous integration platform solutions in its Florida facility which also includes silicon interposer and fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) technologies.

“It’s an exciting time in the semiconductor industry, where advanced packaging technology has become a key enabler for product performance and innovation. Adeia has pioneered 3D integration with hybrid bonding and is leading industry adoption through technology knowhow transfer,” said Laura Mirkarimi, vice president, 3D semiconductor portfolio and technology of Adeia. “We applaud SkyWater’s efforts to offer this technology to their customers.”

“We’re pleased to offer our customers access to Adeia’s hybrid bonding technology as the industry continues to shift toward advanced 3D technologies and architectures to scale performance and functionality,” said Dr. Steven Kosier, SkyWater’s chief technology officer. “We see demand from our customers for domestic advanced packaging capabilities which provide supply chain transparency and robust IP protection. We’re investing in this technology today with Adeia, a recognized leader in hybrid bonding, because it enables our customers’ product roadmaps, competitive advantage, and accelerated time to market.”

As traditional Moore’s Law scaling shows diminishing returns and becomes more expensive, the industry is progressively looking toward 2.5D and 3D stacking and integration technologies to meet market demands. The 3D high performance packaging market is expected to grow to nearly $8B by 20271. Hybrid bonding 3D integration technology is increasingly being utilized in various semiconductor devices such as sensors, memory, and logic to enable increased I/O density, improved electrical and mechanical performance, and reduced size and cost. Hybrid bonding will enable a new wave of semiconductor devices rearchitected with 3D in mind from the start as opposed to simply stacking conventional 2D-architected designs.

All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and are not guarantees of future results, such as statements about the anticipated benefits of the transaction. These and other forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenue, cost savings, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business strategies, and expansion and growth of Xperi’s businesses; Xperi’s ability to implement its business strategy; pricing trends, including Xperi’s ability to achieve economies of scale; the ability of Xperi to retain and hire key personnel; uncertainty as to the long-term value of Xperi’s common stock; legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting Xperi’s business; general economic and market developments and conditions; failure to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting; the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which Xperi operates; unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and natural disasters; the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, including measures taken in response to the pandemic, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted; the impact of semiconductor supply chain constraints on our customers; and any plans regarding the separation of Xperi’s IP and Product businesses. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the business, are more fully discussed in Xperi’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including Xperi’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
