Market Overview:
The global silicon EPI wafer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for semiconductor devices in various applications such as memory, logic/MPU, and others. In terms of type, the 300 mm segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global silicon EPI wafer market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to advancements in technology that have led to an increase in demand for larger-sized semiconductor devices.
Product Definition:
A Silicon EPI Wafer is a type of semiconductor wafer that is used in the fabrication of integrated circuits. Silicon EPIs are typically less expensive than silicon-on-insulator wafers, and they offer improved electrical performance.
300 mm:
300 mm is the new term in the semiconductor industry which has been defined as the distance between a silicon wafer and its package. The 300 mm wafers are used for manufacturing semiconductors such as integrated circuits (IC), dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) among others.
200 mm:
200 mm is the thickness of a single wafer of silicon. It is used to calculate the area and volume of integrated circuits (IC) in a semiconductor wafer, which forms the basis for semiconductor manufacturing. 200 mm is also known as “Wurth” after German engineer Karl Wurth who invented it in 1867.
Application Insights:
The market is segmented by application into memory, logic/MPU, and others. The memory application segment dominated the overall industry in terms of revenue share in 2017. This high share is attributable to the growing demand for NAND flash products from various end-use industries such as consumer electronics and automotive. Moreover, increasing demand for advanced silicon e-wafer based storage devices such as MRAM and PCM will fuel the growth further over the forecast period.
Logic/MPU applications are anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to their rising adoption across multiple end-use industries including telecom & IT, industrial automation, healthcare equipment & appliances among others. These applications require a large number of chips with different types of functions which drives product demand in this sector significantly higher than other sectors where MEMS or MOSFETs dominate usage patterns on account of their lower prices coupled with better performance characteristics required by these demanding markets at low costs driving factors respectively).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific region dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The presence of key EDA companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Samsung Electronics, and SK Hynix has propelled the regional market growth. In addition, favorable government policies regarding FDI are also anticipated to boost industry expansion over the next eight years.
The 300 mm silicon wafer size is most popular in Europe owing to its high utilization across various application areas such as mobile phones, networking chipsets/ Routers, memory chipsets/DDR4 RAMs/Rails, data center servers etc. However, 200 mm silicon wafers are also used for fabricating large scale integrated circuits owing to their advantages such as low cost and better performance-per-watt ratio when compared with 300 mm sized devices.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for semiconductor devices from the consumer electronics and telecommunications sectors
- Proliferation of new applications for semiconductors in automotive, industrial, and medical markets
- Rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) market and need for more sensors and microcontrollers
- Growing demand for advanced packaging technologies to improve performance and reduce size of semiconductor devices
- Development of new materials and manufacturing processes that can improve yields, lower costs, or increase efficiency
