TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in Global Semiconductor Dielectric Etching Equipment Market: Applied Materials Inc., Hitachi High-Technologies Corp., Lam Research Corp., and Tokyo Electron Ltd.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “The increasing demand for compact, energy-efficient, and high performance electronic devices necessitates miniaturization of semiconductor circuits. Miniature semiconductor circuits undergo wafer fabrication process through dielectric etching. Circuit miniaturization requires more thorough dielectric etching and the number of etch steps increases as capacity additions are incorporated. Currently, electronic devices use semiconductors with circuit line widths in the 0-20nm range. However, it is expected that ultraminiature circuits, with line widths in the 0-10nm range could be introduced during the forecast period. Thus, the growing need for miniaturization of semiconductor circuits is expected to fuel the demand for semiconductor dielectric etching equipment during the forecast period.”
According to the report, the growth of the Global Semiconductor Dielectric Etching Equipment market is driven by several factors, including the increasing demand for smartphones and tablets. There has been unprecedented growth in the adoption of smart electronic devices which employ numerous semiconductor components like microchips. This is expected to lead to an increase in the demand for dielectric etching equipment as semiconductor components require microfabrication.
Further, the report states that despite the presence of several drivers, the growth of the Global Semiconductor Dielectric Etching Equipment market is curtailed by some serious challenges, such as the cyclical nature of Semiconductor industry. The revenue generated in the Semiconductor industry is cyclical in nature because the demand for etching is dependent on the economic climate. Very often, production tends to exceed demand, resulting in inventory pile up.
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 vendors.
