Stacking and bonding wafers, a key step of HBM and of future copper-to-copper hybrid bonding, depends on an Austro-German near-duopoly: EV Group and SUSS MicroTec. When memory moves to hybrid bonding, this equipment bottleneck will harden further. Two European workshops govern the future of memory stacking.
