Market Synopsis

The Global Wafer Fabrication Market is expected to grow from USD 50.56 billion in 2018 to USD 62 Billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period. Wafer fabrication is a process of manufacturing different electronic components used in consumer electronic and other electronic and electrical devices. With the growing number of electronic devices over the last decade, the need for electronic components such as electronic circuits and semiconductors has increased. 

Additionally, various government initiatives have encouraged companies to invest and establish manufacturing facilities locally. For instance, in 2016, the Government of India started ‘Make in India’ campaign and invited global companies to India to start their businesses. Therefore, the growing adoption of consumer electronics products and devices across the globe has led to the growth of the global wafer fabrication market. 

Growing telecom industry contributes to the growth of the global wafer fabrication market. Rapid advances in technology and the advancements in network circulation from voice to integrated voice, video, and data have fueled the manufacturing of smartphones and other electronic devices used in network and telecommunication applications; this has resulted in higher demand for electronic components and fabrication process. Hence, growth in the telecom sector is one of the major factors contributing to the growth of the global wafer fabrication market.

Semiconductors or electronic circuits are used in every electronic device; these components undergo a complicated and time-consuming manufacturing process. Polycrystalline silicon is most commonly used raw material for wafer fabrication. Wafer fabrication process includes a series of steps and generally takes 10 to 30 days for completion. The steps involved in the fabrication process are thermal oxidation or deposition, masking, etching, doping, dielectric deposition and metallization, passivation, electrical test and assembly. Semiconductor equipment plays a vital role in integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing. Thus, semiconductor wafer fabrication is used to manufacture circuits, which are used in electronic and electrical devices.

Key Developments

  • In March 2019, Tokyo Electron Limited announced the launch of ‘CELLESTA Pro SPM’ which is a single wafer cleaning system. This system can be used for wet metal etching with controlled selectivity for TiN and W films and post-ash clean processes.
  • In July 2019, Applied Materials, Inc. acquired Kokusai Electric Corporation, a provider of high-productivity batch wafer processing systems and services for memory, foundry, and logic customers. This acquisition helps Applied Materials to increase its global services business and strengthen customer support capabilities.
  • In July 2018, Tokyo Electron Limited announced the launch of ‘Triase+ EX-II Pro’ a single-wafer metallization system. This is a high-speed single wafer advanced sequential flow deposition system capable of depositing titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium silicon nitride (TiSiN) films.
