Product Definition:
A 200mm silicon wafer is a key component of semiconductor fabrication. It is a thin slice of silicon that has been grown into a circular disk, typically 8 inches in diameter. The use of 200mm wafers allows for the production of more chips per unit area, making them an important part of modern electronics manufacturing.
Epitaxial Wafer:
Epitaxial Wafer, also known as epitaxy or exfoliation, is a thin layer of single-crystal silicon which is grown on the wafer by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The CVD process includes high temperature and pressure environment which helps in producing high quality of single crystal silicon. Epitaxial layer can be removed from the wafer by mechanical or chemical methods to give an integrated circuit (IC).
Polished Wafer:
Polished wafer is a thin slice of a semiconductor material such as silicon, which has been treated or polished to give it a very high surface finish. Polished wafers are used in the manufacturing of integrated circuits (IC), also known as chips. The finished product is called an IC chip and consists of millions of miniature components mounted on a single substrate or body, through wire bondings.
Application Insights:
Analog and discrete devices & sensors application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017. The 200mm (8 inch) silicon wafer is widely used to manufacture integrated circuits and various other discrete components. Increasing demand for analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits is expected to drive the product demand over the forecast period.
The memory industry has witnessed significant growth over recent years, primarily driven by increasing demand from smartphones, wearable devices, digital cameras and tablets computers which use flash storage as a primary component. 200mm (8 inch) silicon wafer is widely used in flash memory products such as NAND Flash Memory Card, NOR Flash Memory Card etc., owing to its high performance characteristics required in these cards.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the dominant regional market in 2016 and accounted for over 45% of the revenue share. The region is also estimated to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period, owing to increasing demand from various application segments, including consumer electronics, automotive electronics & lighting, computing & laptops.
The growth in Asia Pacific is attributed to a number of factors such as low labor costs and easy availability of land. Moreover, China has been dominating this region due to its large silicon wafer production capacity since 2015. Japan is another significant contributor owing to high product demand from domestic manufacturers along with foreign players operating within Japan’s shores.
North America held a substantial share in 2016; however, it is expected that Latin America will emerge as a potential market for 200mm (8 inch) silicon wafers over the next eight years owing to growing technological advancements across several industries coupled with increased spending on advanced technologies by consumers.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for semiconductor devices from consumer electronics and automotive industries
- Rising demand for silicon wafers from the solar energy sector
- Growing application of silicon wafers in the medical field
- Proliferation of nanotechnology and MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) across various industry verticals
- Technological advancements in manufacturing processes of silicon wafers
