TechNavio today launched its report Global Microelectronics Cleaning Equipment Market 2011-2014 based on an in-depth study covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers™ understanding of the key trends impacting this regional market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio™s Hardware team said, Collaboration between manufacturers and research institutes have resulted in better technology which provides microelectronic devices with enhanced performance, minimal power consumption, reduced size, and greater integration potential. Due to the ultra-precision processing and assembly, there will be considerable reduction in the transition time from a working prototype to a standard product. Manufacturers can strengthen their competitive scope in the excessively price-sensitive market through increasing their focus on niche markets, reliable packaging, reduced lead time and improved after-sales service.
According to the report, there is an increasing shift toward a single-wafer cleaning process due to its growing trend in broadband-networked digital consumer electronics. Other factors that are driving this shift toward single-wafer cleaning technology include the need for environmentally supportive technologies, strict surface contamination control requirements, and the radical changes that are required in the gate-insulator materials and forming methods.
The report also discusses key challenges impacting this market including the high cost of vapor cleaning equipment.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key players.
