- AT&S is a leading provider of printed circuit boards and IC substrates for applications such as mobile devices, automotive, industrial, medical, and more.
- In fiscal year 2019/20, AT&S achieved over €1 billion in revenue but saw declines in EBITDA and earnings per share due to lower sales volume, unfavorable product mix, and impacts of COVID-19.
- However, AT&S remained profitable with an EBITDA margin within its guided range of 18-20% and continues investing in expanding IC substrate capacities for future growth opportunities in high-performance computing.
Global and china rigid pcb industry report, 2015ResearchInChina
2014 was a good year for majority of PCB companies, as output value of PCB industry touched USD59.6 billion, rising 3.7% against 2013, the fastest growth rate since 2011. Looking forward to 2015, a collapse in prices of commodities, especially in that of copper, will significantly reduce raw materials costs of PCB companies, thus further driving their profit margins.
Global and china ic substrate industry report, 2015ResearchInChina
IC substrate industry may be in a predicament in 2015, rooted in two aspects: first, the maturing of FOWLP; second, the tablet sales decline and sluggish smartphone growth. In addition, the prosperity of IC substrate industry in 2013 stimulated large-scale expansion of enterprises in 2014, thus leading to an insufficient rate of capacity utilization.

Global trade frictions have eased, but are still creating some uncertainties in the market
Economic environment further dampened by situation around COVID-19
Covid-19 outbreak effected global logistics as well as production chains
Uncertain consumer behavior causes low visibility especially in Mobile devices
Growth in data drives the need for processor modules and therefore high-end IC substrates
Although increase in electronic content partly compensates for lower units sales difficult market
situation in the automotive sector is expected to continue until 2021
European industrial investment behaviour on low level

AT&S PRODUCT PORTFOLIO – I
ECP®:
Embedded Component Packaging IC substrates Substrate-like printed circuit boards
mSAP
Embedded Component Packaging allows to embed
active/passive components (e.g. wafer level dies) within
the layers of a PCB – contributes to miniaturization.
IC substrates serve as interconnection platform with
higher density (Line/Space < 15 micron) between
semiconductors (Chips) & PCBs .
Substrate-like PCBs (mSAP technology) are the next
evolution of high-end HDI PCBs with higher density:
Line/Space < 30 micron.
Production site
Leoben, Shanghai Chongqing Chongqing, Shanghai
Applications
Devices such as smartphones, tablets, digital
cameras and hearing aids
High-end processors for

higher performance and
reliability. AT&S produces HDI
any-layer in 4 to 12 layers.
HDI: high density interconnect,
meaning
laser-drilled connections
(microvias). HDI is first step
towards miniaturization.
AT&S can produce 4-layer
laser PCBs up to 6-n-6
HDI multi layer PCBs.
Found in almost every area of
industrial electronics. AT&S
produces printed circuit boards
with 4 to 28 layers, in quantities
from individual prototypes to
small batches and mass
production.
Used in all areas of electronics.
AT&S focuses on double-sided
printed circuit boards with
thicknesses in the range of 0.1-
3.2mm.
IMS: insulated metal substrate.
Primary function: heat
dissipation for use mainly with
LEDs and power components.
Production site
Shanghai Shanghai, Leoben Leoben, Nanjangud, Fehring Fehring, Nanjangud Fehring
Applications
Smartphones, Tablets,
Notebooks
Mobile phones and nearly all
electronic applications including
automotive (navigation,
infotainment and driver
assistance systems)
Used in all electronic
applications including touch
panels, and in products ranging
from aircraft to motorcycles,
from storage power plants to
solar arrays
Primarily industrial and
automotive applications

Flexible printed
circuit boards
Semi-flexible printed
circuit boards
Rigid-flex printed
circuit boards
Flexible printed circuit
boards on aluminum
AT&S patented
technologies
Used to replace wiring and
connectors, allowing for
connections and geometries that
are not possible with rigid
printed circuit boards.
More limited bend radius than
flexible printed circuit
boards. The use of a
standard thin laminate
makes them a cost-effective
alternative.
Combine the
advantages of flexible
and rigid printed circuit
boards, yielding benefits
for signal transmission,
size and stability.
Used when installing LEDs
in car headlights, for
example, where the
printed circuit board is
bonded to an aluminum
heat sink to which the
LEDs are then attached.
Production site
Ansan, Fehring Fehring Ansan Ansan
Applications
Nearly all areas of
electronics, including
measuring devices and
medical applications
Automotive applications Industrial electronics,
such as production
machines and industrial
robots
Lighting, automotive,
building lighting

ECP®: Embedded
Component Packaging
ECP® is a patented AT&S packaging
technology used to embed active
and passive electronic components
in the inner layers of a printed circuit
board. ECP® technology is used in
ever smaller, more efficient and
more powerful devices, such as
smartphones, tablets, digital
cameras and hearing aids.
Production sites: Leoben, Shanghai
2.5D® Technology
Platform
Combines mechanical and electronic
miniaturization, and enables partial
reduction of the thickness of a
circuit board. Advantage: populated
assemblies have a thinner profile.
Can be also used to make cavities in
the printed circuit board, e.g. for
acoustic channels. Major application
for this technology is the 2.5D® rigid-
flex printed circuit board, a lower
cost alternative for flex-to install
applications.
Production sites: Leoben, Shanghai
