This report segments the semiconductor wafer cleaning systems market by equipment type (single-wafer processing systems, auto wet stations, scrubbers, and others) and by geography (APAC, North America, Europe, and ROW). The report also covers the vendor landscape and an in-depth study of the leading vendors, which include SCREEN, Tokyo Electron, and Lam Research.
Technavio’s market research analysts estimate the global semiconductor wafer cleaning systems market to grow at a CAGR of around 9% between 2015 and 2019. Rise in technological advancements and increased demand for semiconductor devices, particularly memory and logic ICs, are propelling the growth of the semiconductor wafer cleaning systems market worldwide. APAC dominates the global semiconductor wafer cleaning systems market, accounting for 72% of the total market share. The significant presence of semiconductor IC manufacturers is one of the major reasons for the high revenue contribution from this region.
The new market research report from Technavio provides a breakdown and analysis of the semiconductor wafer cleaning systems segments by technology.
“The electronics industry is making considerable shifts towards miniaturizing semiconductor ICs. This has led to huge investments by foundries to make compact wafers. Several wafer cleaning systems are being employed in the foundries to minimize the quality-related issues due to the impurities of the wafer. The miniaturization of semiconductor ICs is expected to have a high impact on semiconductor foundries, as these foundries will have to invest heavily in manufacturing equipment, fab equipment, and assembly and test equipment, for developing advanced production system,” says Navin Rajendra, Lead Analyst, Hardware & Semiconductor, Technavio Research.
The single-wafer processing systems segment is the largest revenue contributor to the global semiconductor wafer cleaning systems market, accounting for around 76% of the total market share. Much of the segment’s growth comes from the high efficiency and throughput of the single-wafer processing system. It cleans every wafer with increased efficiency, resulting in high production capacity. These systems are expected to find applications in minifab operations during the forecast period.
The leading vendors in the global semiconductor wafer cleaning systems market include SCREEN, Tokyo Electron, and Lam Research. The presence of many prominent semiconductor foundries in Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan has made APAC an extremely competitive region. Also, the requirement of technical expertise and the consolidated nature of market pose as high entry barrier for the new entrants in the market.
